On Thursday, Nick Underhill of neworleans.football was the first to report that the Saints were meeting with University of Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward. Most scouts and analysts predict that Ward will be the first quarterback drafted, with a strong possibility of being the first overall selection.

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says he sees 11-year veteran quarterback Derek Carr as someone the Saints can win with and a player the club remains “excited about.”
