After the season Tyler Shough had, the New Orleans Saints were never going to pick a quarterback with the eighth overall pick. Even if they were, Dante Moore wouldn't have fell far enough for the Saints to grab him. With all that being said, Moore announcing his plan to return to the University of Oregon is a bit of a gut punch for the Saints' NFL draft plans.
Moore's decision seems to be part of a movement by some of Oregon's top players to pass on the draft to play another year under Dan Lanning. Moore followed the footsteps of his fellow Ducks A'Mauri Washington, Matayo Uiagalelei, Teitum Tuitoi and others by going back to Eugene to give it one last shot.
