Why Oregon QB Dante Moore Not Entering NFL Draft Negatively Affects New Orleans Saints
After Further Review On Demand is powered by BREC Golf
Matt Moscona breaks down the massive ripple effects of Oregon quarterback Dante Moore deciding to return to school for another season instead of entering the NFL Draft, reportedly earning $7.5 million in the process. Moscona explains why the decision makes sense for Moore in the NIL era, but also why it creates real consequences for teams drafting near the top — especially the New Orleans Saints picking eighth overall. By removing a likely top-ten quarterback from the draft pool, Moore’s choice limits the number of quarterbacks that could be selected ahead of the Saints, potentially pushing desirable non-QB prospects off the board before New Orleans is on the clock. Moscona also explores how this decision impacts the broader NFL Draft landscape, quarterback-needy teams, and even SEC programs like LSU, where the draft status of players such as Trinidad Chambliss could influence future matchups. One decision, multiple domino effects — and a clear reminder of how much college football and the NFL Draft have changed.

Excellent analysis as always. I would take Chambliss over Simpson any day.

Just lock Loomis out of the draft room fgs
Hopefully Loomis 🥜 big enough to just trade out the top ten. You know how some owners and GM are in cahoots? Every since bounty gate don't nobody fuk with us and I'm ok with that. We need as much draft capital as possible.
