JACKSON: The Saints draft is a quiet embrace of a rebuild
By Ross Jackson -LouisianaSports.net
The NFL Draft is typically all about excitement. An influx of playmakers and skill position players are often seen as a more impactful draft class than organizational building blocks.
However, the latter looks like the approach the New Orleans Saints have taken, and that may be exactly the right choice in their situation. With a roster needing major retooling (and some purging of the previous regime) the Saints have spent the first two draft days quietly rebuilding the foundation, not just decorating the walls.
Why? Because there are no finished walls on their roster. And there is no one beholden to the decisions of the past.
Experience and Leadership in Focus
So far, this Saints class is filled with talent that have played a lot of games and bring a specific mentality and character to the locker room. Head coach Kellen Moore highlighted these elements as an important factor in their selection process.
“So far with these four guys, I think they represent high character guys,” Moore said after day two of the Draft. “A lot of guys have been captains, who’ve been leaders in their different spaces, guys who played a lot of football at big time programs throughout this country. And so all that experience, I think, is going to be really, really valuable for us.”
New Orleans is taking players that have the experience to hit the field and contribute; even in less-exciting, non-skill position roles.
With a new coaching staff in the building, there are likely pieces that they like on the roster. Veteran leadership, institutional experience, and genuinely intriguing weapons here and there. But considering the focus of the draft so far, this team is silently embracing the rebuild they needed to embrace following the departures of former quarterback Drew Brees and then former head coach Sean Payton.

What does Kelvin Banks Jr. bring to the Saints
In the first round of the NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints selected LT Kelvin Banks Jr. out of Texas. Going into Thursday, many believed the Saints would target a player who could upgrade their defensive or offensive line.

Offensive line is a selection the Saints have made frequently in the first round of drafts, but they still need to find an answer at tackle and guard. Trevor Penning’s fifth-year option was a massive hint for the direction the Saints could go at 9, and...
