How far could Shedeur Sanders fall if the New York Giants do not take him at No. 3? One intriguing team may save him from dropping out of the top ten in that scenario.

The New Orleans Saints have been repeatedly linked to quarterbacks, and new reports suggest they could be in play for Sanders if he falls to them at No. 9. Grey Papke of Larry Brown Sports reports.  In an appearance on “SportsCenter” Saturday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted that there are some teams that do not even have a first-round grade on Sanders, which could lead to him falling in the draft.

Fowler added, however, that the Saints could be a landing spot for Sanders at No. 9, as they have been doing their homework on quarterbacks.

This got some backing from Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Underhill said Friday that the Saints’ relationship with starting quarterback Derek Carr “is tenuous at best,” and that Carr was even looking for a trade before the two sides restructured his contract earlier this month.

Underhill does not mention Sanders by name, but it is certainly reasonable to conclude based on this that Sanders might be in play for them at No. 9 if he is on the board.
