“Expect to see a report, sooner [rather] than later, that the Saints have reached out,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote Friday. “Whether it goes anywhere remains to be seen. However, New Orleans becomes another option for Rodgers.”

NEW ORLEANS — With the ninth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints selected Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr.

Banks had a decorated college career, earning some of the sport’s most prestigious honors for linemen, including the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy, both of which recognize the top lineman in college football.

The Saints may have had more insight into Banks than any other NFL team. Two key members of the Saints'...

The NFL Draft is far from an exact science. Every year players projected to be busts turn out great and players thought to be sure things are out of the league in just a few years. The New Orleans Saints have been up and down in terms of their draft success in recent years, as they have picked many key contributors to great Saints teams in the past, but recently have made some picks that have set them back a few years.

For this analysis, I looked at each pick made in the first round of each NFL Draft since 2009, and using a combination of stats, accolades, and weighted approximate value...

The 2025 NFL Draft is finally here, and the New Orleans Saints currently have the 9th overall pick. We know for sure that the excitement begins at 7 p.m. CT at Lambeau Field in Green Bay but with 8 teams scheduled to pick ahead of them, what we don’t know is what time the Saints will be on the clock.
