After the Derek Carr signing, the New Orleans Saints can focus on other positions to build up both sides of the football in this seven round mock draft. The New Orleans Saints toppled the first domino of the offseason, signing quarterback Derek Carr to a four-year, $150 million deal that includes $70 million guaranteed, 60 of which is at signing. He also backloaded the deal to help the Saints’ cap issues, so Carr is set to make just $7.2 million in 2023. So, it’s clear the Saints plan on staying with the “we’re all in, we’re contending” mantra that continues to push the credit card envelope and kick the can further down the road. Right now, they’re NFC South favorites.
