Here’s a rephrased version of the passage:
The New Orleans Saints have a range of prospects to consider on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft, adding to the excitement of their earlier selections. Despite securing offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga and cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, there’s still anticipation for the Saints to target hidden gems in the later rounds.
With Rounds 4-7 offering opportunities to uncover talent, the Saints’ focus remains unclear. However, there’s a particular quarterback worth monitoring, along with other promising college players:
- Jordan Travis, quarterback from Florida State, stands out despite a dip in his draft stock due to a season-ending injury. Despite being labeled as “undersized,” his versatile playing style and potential for development make him an intriguing prospect, potentially available as late as the sixth round.

- Mason McCormick, offensive tackle from South Dakota State, shares similarities with past success stories like Trevor Penning. With a solid track record and physical attributes suited for the next level, McCormick could be a valuable late-round pick despite needing refinement in pass protection.
- Jordan Jefferson, defensive tackle from LSU, offers the Saints a chance to reinforce their interior defensive line. Despite needing improvement in technique, his athleticism and size make him a viable late-round option to complement the Saints’ existing defensive lineup.
- Tanner McLachlan, tight end from Arizona, brings a tenacious attitude and playmaking ability to the position. While lacking elite speed and size for blocking, McLachlan’s reliability in catching and determination after the catch make him a potential steal in the later rounds.
As the draft progresses, the Saints have the opportunity to uncover hidden talent that could contribute positively to their roster.
