QB. Alabama. Mac Jones. 15. Pick Analysis. 31. player. Scouting Report

The New Orleans Saints are getting a taste of life without Drew Brees, who suffered some bad injuries to his ribs this season.

With two starts under his belt, it doesn’t look like Taysom Hill is going to carve out a role with the Saints as their long-term quarterback option. Considering he’s playing ahead of Jameis Winston, it doesn’t seem like the former number one overall pick will seize that role, either.

With the 31st pick in this 2021 mock draft, the Saints take a shot on Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, who is playing just about as well as any quarterback in the country in the early goings of the 2020 season.

Jones has completed over 76 percent of his passes with 23 touchdowns and he’s been throwing the ball exceptionally well deeper downfield.
