Ian Book

Book's a good college QB, but lacks the traits that will put him into the NFL QB conversation. His accuracy wavers at all levels of the field, he has a tendency to put the ball in harms way, and he struggles to tick through his progressions quickly. Has a natural flick to be able to send it downfield, but it's not always the most accurate. Good mobility and improvisational skills. Able to create when the play breaks down or when he gets outside of the pocket. He relies on this too much to be a NFL QB though. NFL defenses will rush contain, drop 7, and force him to beat them as a pure passing QB and it simply won't work. Most likely a UDFA player.

Ian Book selected No. 133 by the New Orleans Saints

The Saints have selected quarterback Ian Book with the 133rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Saints add to their QB room with the selection of Ian Book. Book had an impressive career at Notre Dame. Shifty behind the line of scrimmage, he was the winningest QB in school history. However, his size 6' and lack of top-end arm strength could hold him back in the NFL. He'll be in a great situation with a chance to learn under Sean Payton, behind Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston.
