Brady Davis and delivers the football with a wallop. He stands at 6-2 3/4, 212 lbs, solid measurables for an NFL quarterback. Could Brady be a great mid-round choice for New Orleans?

Mike Detillier released his 2021 Draft Report and delivered the following remarks on Davis:

"Brady has a good size for the quarterback spot, a very strong arm, and he has some major league zip on his throws. He can make all of the NFL throws and hit the deep passes outside the hashes, and the deep underneath passes. Davis has a smooth over-the-top delivery, and he can fit passes in small window spots. He has...

Take another piece off the board. The Saints hosted cornerback T.J. Carrie for a free agent visit, but the 7-year NFL veteran is re-signing with the the Colts after weighing offers from New Orleans and the Buffalo Bills. Carrie was an important backup on defense and asset on special teams, and he’ll get another shot at competing for a starting job in Indianapolis after playing well there in 2020.

It’s a tough miss for the Saints, who haven’t found a real No. 2 cornerback after releasing Janoris Jenkins from his contract in March. Right now, their opening-day corners would be Marshon...

Through the middle part of last decade, the linebacking corps was a major team weakness on a struggling New Orleans Saints defense. Gone were players like Jonathan Vilma, Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Scott Fujita, and Scott Shanle that helped fuel three playoff runs and a Super Bowl title between 2009 and 2011.

In their place were draft busts like Stephone Anthony and Hau'oli Kikaha and disappointing free agent pickups like Curtis Lofton or James Laurinaitis. The New Orleans linebackers were athletically and strategically overmatched, leading to consistent defensive breakdowns.

That changed in 2018...

Best Saints Draft Pick of the Past Five Years

News source: John Hendrix
Replies: 0

New Orleans is facing some very important decisions with their eight selections in the upcoming draft, and could use some of that 2017 pick magic to help them remain contenders in the league. It might be hard to see them coming out of the draft with eight actual players because of their aggressive trade tendencies, and they have some big needs to address. We previously gave some thoughts on the worst Saints draft pick from the past five years, and it's time to talk about the best ones. Here's some thoughts from our Saints News Network team.

The New Orleans Saints have searched for a speedy deep threat complement to All-Pro WR Michael Thomas for the past four years. Veteran Ted Ginn Jr had some success in 2017. Tre'Quan Smith, a 3rd round choice in 2018, has shown no consistency throughout his career. Former undrafted receivers Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris have both flashed exciting potential, with bigger things expected in 2020.

Veteran Pro Bowler Emmanuel Sanders was also added last offseason. Sanders was expected to team with Thomas to give QB Drew Brees a formidable duo of wideouts. Those plans were derailed when...

30 separate mock drafts link Saints to 14 different first-round prospects

We’re less than two weeks away from the start of the 2021 NFL draft, but there’s still little to no consensus on where the Saints might go with their first round pick. I surveyed 30 of the latest mock drafts from across the media landscape, and found that they’ve linked New Orleans to 14 prospects — at five different positions. Wide receiver was most popular (12 mock drafts), with linebacker (8) and cornerback (7) just behind.

Just one player was mocked to the Saints more than three times: Florida Gators receiver Kadarius Toney, who went to New Orleans in four separate mock drafts, or...

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said it is the union's position that it is in the best interest of players to not participate in voluntary offseason workouts.

"I think what a lot of players have said that they've heard from their coaches is that they need to show up," Smith said Saturday on SportsCenter. "We've known for years that this is a voluntary workout where a lot of coaches put their finger on the scale and, while they call it voluntary, they expect players to show up.

Add the Saints players to the growing number of NFL rosters that don’t intend to participate in on-site practices ahead of training camp (for the folks keeping score at home, we’re now up to 17 teams). With COVID-19 concerns still on everyone’s radar and the relative success of a partially-virtual 2020 offseason informing their decision, New Orleans’ pros have made it clear they won’t show the usual high attendance for early-summer organized team activities.

The NFL Players Association released a statement on their behalf, writing:
