An offensive guru, a Hall of Fame quarterback, star running back and receiver walk into a bar. Presumably this week that bar is on Bourbon Street and those four guys will run into a foursome who look remarkably similar. Matt LaFleur hopes to get where Sean Payton already cemented himself as one of the best coaches in the game with a Super Bowl trophy and bonafides as one of the best offensive minds in the game. Davante Adams and Aaron Jones likewise view their counterparts as aspirational, but in recognition more than productivity. Adams and Jones already play on the level of Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, but haven't been recognized as such. And when it comes to Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers, their paths followed remarkably similar trajectories for a long time, with Brees nabbing his Lombardi Trophy in 2009, the year before Rodgers and the two battling it out for MVP in 2011.

Since then though, Brees went through a wandering in the wilderness yet faced no criticism and the last few years, reascended in the league hierarchy with Rodgers tumbling down in the public eye. This season though, Rodgers' rejuvenated play lands him back in the MVP race while Brees' erratic throws and juiceless arm have raised questions. Winning a game like Sunday's tilt at the Superdome would help answer that question and all of those above. It would also give the winning foursome a headstart on that next Lombardi.

The Rodgers vs. Brees storyline couldn't be more different from 2011 when these two teams squared off at Lambeau in a Week 1 thriller. Both quarterbacks played at the peak of their powers, Rodgers in one of the most incredible seasons we've ever seen and Brees likewise putting together a tour de force season, each with bad defenses. Over the years since, the Saints muddled through a slew of 7-9 seasons, but the criticisms that dogged Rodgers and Mike McCarthy never made their way to Louisiana. Must not have been able to afford a direct flight or the French Quarter hotels during peak season. ...

Cameron Jordan has a hot take on Saints' first-round pick: 'I'm very biased'

Everyone has their own ideas about what the New Orleans Saints should do with their first round pick in the 2024 NFL draft — including players already on the team. Cameron Jordan sat down with NFL Network to preview the first round of selections on Thursday, and he shared his take on where the Saints should look to improve with the 14th overall pick.

“Who do I want? I’m very biased,” Jordan laughed. “If y’all are thinking top-10, offense galore, I’m thinking No. 14, defense. Run me the big defensive tackle. I like the little Florida State kid. I really like a Texas D-tackle. Just know, if...

Yaccarino’s 2024 Saints Mock Draft 3.0

The NFL Draft is right around the corner, and the New Orleans Saints roster is set, barring any twists. Let’s see how the Saints can fill the remaining holes on the roster with their copious picks in this year’s draft.

This being my third and final mock draft, I had to get the last member of the three F offensive linemen. Troy Fautanu is a talented tackle prospect with positional versatility throughout the offensive line. Although he is a little undersized for a left tackle at 6-foot-4, his arm length makes up for it. He has the same arm length as number one tackle prospect Joe Alt, 34 ½...

How Saints fans can watch Round 1 of the 2024 NFL draft

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...

This is when Saints are expected to make 2024 draft pick Thursday

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...

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:
