The 2024 NFL draft is officially upon us as the first round is set to kick off on Thursday night at 7 p.m. CT. The New Orleans Saints are currently scheduled to pick at No. 14 overall, and the majority of expert mock drafts have them taking an offensive tackle in Round 1.

With the rest of their selections, there are a few key positions that the Saints should look to target: defensive tackle, wide receiver, safety and more offensive linemen. Other positional needs that maybe aren’t as pressing but can definitely be added to are nickel, tight end and pass rusher specifically in the middle...

We’re in for a fun environment with the 2024 NFL draft kicking off from Detroit on Thursday night, but when will the New Orleans Saints go on the clock? The Saints are scheduled to pick at No. 14 on Day 1 and currently hold eight additional picks between Days 2 and 3, but we’ll keep all eyes on Round 1.

Last year’s 14th overall selection was announced at 8:50 p.m. CT when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected offensive tackle Broderick Jones out of Georgia. Coincidentally, with the glaring weakness that the Saints have at the offensive tackle position, it is likely that they will also look to...

It’s always a topic around the NFL Draft when it comes to the New Orleans Saints as they have shown recently that they like to trade up. Will tonight be the same?

After ten years in the NFL and four with New Orleans, James Hurst has decided that it is time to walk away.

Here’s a final look at a seven round mock draft with trades for the Black and Gold.

Four trades that could shake things up? Six quarterbacks to tie a record? Let's project how the first round will play out.

Any conversation about the New Orleans Saints prior to the NFL draft should begin with an “as of now” disclaimer.

Mickey Loomis said he normally needs about three years to fairly evaluate a draft class.

Who are the New Orleans Saints picking in the final mock drafts of 2024? With the real thing just hours away we’ve rounded up the results, and found a clear consensus: everyone expects the Saints to upgrade their offensive line. And they’ll do that by picking one of this year’s best blockers, if the mock drafts are to be believed.

Some of the Saints’ first-round picks in recent years were broadcast pretty well; there were plenty of experts linking the team to Bryan Bresee in 2023 and Chris Olave in 2022, though other picks like Trevor Penning, Payton Turner, and Cesar Ruiz caught us by surprise. Here’s who the Saints are being connected to in 2024:

It’s finally draft day. The New Orleans Saints will add a new member to the black and gold during Thursday night’s first round of picks, but it’s important to remember that the 2024 draft lasts longer than just that one frame. There are seven rounds of picks to work with, and the Saints will have many opportunities to get better. They can’t afford to let these chances slip through their fingers.

So here is our final seven-round mock draft, exploring what we expect the Saints to do. Here’s how they can field a better team in 2024 than fans saw in 2023:

Are in for another Mickey Loomis special? NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah shared a big piece of information in his final 2024 mock draft, which he had previously only alluded to on social media.

“The Saints have been calling teams to try to trade up, and I assume they want one of the top offensive tackles,” Jeremiah wrote, predicting the Saints will ultimately stay put and select Washington Huskies left tackle Troy Fautanu. He continued, “I’m not sure how they have the OTs stacked on their board, but I do feel highly confident that New Orleans will be taking a bookend blocker in Round 1.”...

Derek Carr stepped to the tee box on the first hole at the TPC Louisiana and sailed his tee shot into a large cypress tree on the left side of the fairway.

Derek Carr said he’s never spent so much time watching “random” film.

Earlier this week, we asked our readers what they would like to see the New Orleans Saints do with their pick in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. 65% of voters said they would like them to stay and pick at 14. Only 20% said they would like them to trade down and just 15% said trade up.

The Saints have several needs on both offense and defense and while we don’t know what will happen, most mock drafts have the Saints taking an Offensive Tackle with the 14th pick.

With the NFL Draft just a little over 24 hours away, what I can tell you is that the excitement is building. In a night that is...

The 2024 NFL draft starts tomorrow and there feels like there is more up in the air than normal in this class. It’s not that no one knows mostly which players should go in the first round, but there a lot of ways the board can fall.

A lot of it is riding on how the quarterback dominoes and how the offensive tackle class end up falling. There are a lot of tackles and wide receivers, and people have them rated completely differently.

Here is our final full first round mock draft, featuring some surprising trade action:

It’s tough to think of a setup worse than the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line right now. Of last year’s five starters, only two are locks to return in their spots for 2024: Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy and right guard Cesar Ruiz.

Left tackle is undecided with the Saints expected to draft competition for Trevor Penning this weekend. Right tackle is an open wound with Ryan Ramczyk facing the very real possibility of a medical retirement. And left guard is now looking worse with James Hurst retiring from pro football.

The Saints need more reinforcements than they can afford with their...
