Not a major need, the addition of another difference maker at defensive tackle could boost the entire Saints defense.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI
Bryan Bresee proved to be a terrific addition to the defense of the New Orleans Saints last season. The defensive tackle from Clemson was the 29th overall pick of the draft and provided a major upgrade to the interior of the defensive line for the Saints. Veteran DT Nathan Shepherd, added in free agency, also had a solid year.

Bresee and Shepherd combined for eight sacks, 17 QB hits, and 11 tackles for loss while also solidifying the inside run defense. Malcolm Roach also had a solid year before missing the stretch run with an injury. Not great numbers, but a better performance than what we saw from the position in the previous two campaigns.

Roach is entering free agency. Khalen Saunders, another free agent signing last offseason, did little on the defensive side. While the Saints have far more pressing needs on both sides of the ball, they may also look to bring in another dynamic interior defender. ...

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...

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.

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.”...
