Saints draft: Boom or bust? Only time will tell!!
TRACEY JAGNEAUX
NEW ORLEANS -- No question that after last year’s bountiful draft for the New Orleans Saints, the 2018 version of let’s take a chance would be scrutinized in a way that no other draft would be.
No matter who the Saints chose this year, the comparison to 2017 would be made, even though none of the players selected starting last Thursday had even taken a snap in the NFL.
So, how did the Saints do in this year’s installment? That all depends on who you ask. The range of grades looks like the report card of a seventh grader going through the change to adulthood: it is all over the map.
ESPN gave the Saints a C+, putting New Orleans just above average.
Bleacher Report, without providing any explanation with its rankings, gave the Saints a D, the lowest in the league along with Oakland and Seattle.
Yahoo and USA Today agreed with Bleacher Report and also rated the New Orleans draft as being D worthy. However, both NFL.com and CBS Sports had the Saints with a grade of B.
The biggest move of the draft for New Orleans came very early. The Saints made a bold move in the first round Thursday, trading next year’s first-rounder to move up and take Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport, a player who filled a need for a pressure player at the right defensive end spot the Saints have been trying to fill long-term for years.

NEW ORLEANS — It's another 'Blue Christmas' for fans of the New Orleans Saints after an abysmal performance in Green Bay on Monday night.
The Saints were held scoreless in a lopsided 34-0 loss to the Packers, the team's first shutout defeat since it fell 13-0 to the 49ers in San Francisco in 2022.
A day earlier, 'The Grinch' stole what hope was left for a playoff run after the hated archrival Falcons defeated the hapless Giants on Sunday to officially eliminate New Orleans from playoff contention for a fourth straight season.

Lopsided loss sinks the reeling Saints further into evaluation mode
NEW ORLEANS — A lopsided, shutout loss has left the beat-up New Orleans Saints limping into the final two games of a lost season — and into a rather cloudy future beyond that.
Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi figured that a visit to playoff-bound Green Bay would be a tall order for his injury-riddled squad, whose prominent missing players included starters at quarterback, running back and receiver.
And when New Orleans' mostly healthy defensive front struggled against a Packers ground game led by running back Josh Jacobs, the rout was on.
Nothing "stuck out on film other than a lack of...

On Monday, the New Orleans Saints marched into Green Bay, W.I., in a primetime matchup against the Packers. In what was a hard-to-watch game, the Saints were the first team to be shut out this season.
The Green Bay Packers got the ball first, and the Saints' run defense was quickly exposed. They would run on the game's first four plays, setting up two decent-sized pass plays. Then, Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs executed a 20-yard run while simultaneously hitting Tyrann Mathieu with a mean stiff-arm.
New Orleans would then show a little bit of goal line defense before allowing a...

State of the NFC South: Saints officially out of the division title race
The New Orleans Saints fell miserably to the Green Bay Packers to a bow on Week 16 action. New Orleans was eliminated from playoff contention before Monday Night Football due to an Atlanta Falcons victory over the New York Giants.
The playoffs officially off the table, and the Saints can’t finish any higher than third in the NFC South. They sit three games behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Falcons.
It’s funny how this division works. The Buccaneers suffered a surprising loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. It was their first loss in the last five games. The Falcons went on a four game losing streak, and everything seemed to be spiraling out of control. Atlanta won their last two games, and the power has shifted in their favor.
Here is where the NFC South stands after 15 games:

Saints extending Cameron Jordan named team's worst mistake since 2020
A lot has gone wrong for the New Orleans Saints since the end of the Drew Brees-Sean Payton era and a lot of their problems can be brought back to their money issues.
When they were winning, it was easy to defend their unusual cap practices as it kept them afloat. Now that the Saints are at the bottom of the league, some decisions stick out like a sore thumb.
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently ranked each team’s worst decision since the 2020 season and for New Orleans at No. 23, it had to do with an extension given to a franchise legend. Back in 2023, the Saints signed Cameron Jordan to a...

Former Saints linebacker named 'best Christmas gift' for Eagles
The New Orleans Saints had a former draft pick leave after a disappointing four seasons with the team and he became a star after joining the Philadelphia Eagles.
In searching for the best surprise players of the 2024 season, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin named linebacker Zack Baun one of the top ‘Christmas gifts’ of the year for the Eagles.
Here is what Benjamin had to say about Baun:
During his time with New Orleans, the team struggled to figure out exactly what they wanted out of him. Of course, the path to playing time at linebacker was tough with Demario Davis and Pete Werner ahead of...

MNF should serve as a sign to Saints ownership it's time for a major overhaul
The New Orleans Saints lost in miserable fashion to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. That loss has to be a wake up call to ownership that wholesale changes are mandatory.
Those chances have to start Darren Rizzi and could extend all the way to Mickey Loomis. The roster isn’t good, and that’s the fault of the general manager. Loomis’ future is difficult to predict, but there isn’t much more Rizzi can show to prove he should be the Saints next head coach. This is the moment for a completely new image. It’s vital that Gayle Benson see that.

NEW ORLEANS — Without many weapons around him, New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler couldn’t capitalize on his opportunity for a nationally televised showcase.
One week after leading four straight scoring drives in a 20-19 loss to the Washington Commanders, the fifth-round pick from South Carolina didn’t produce any points as the Saints fell 34-0 to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, the first shutout in the NFL this season.
The Saints (5-10) were shut out for the first time since falling 13-0 to San Francisco on Nov. 27, 2022.
