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.

Saints rookie DB is about to be thrown into the fire

Kool-Aid McKinstry’s rookie season completely changed when Paulson Adebo went down with injury. McKinstry goes from being a minor player in the system to basically being a starter. But the New Orleans Saints drafted him so highly because an emergency like this might happen.

He’ll be the outside corner opposite Marshon Lattimore in the Saints’ nickel defense, which they run more often than almost any other personnel grouping. You’ll frequently see Lattimore, McKinstry and slot corner Alontae Taylor on the field together.

This is similar to the role McKinstry played against the Dallas...

Rookie Saints QB will have his best supporting cast in Week 8

Week 8 is probably Spencer Rattler’s last start of the season, barring any setbacks or another injury to starting quarterback Derek Carr. It’s also the first time to get a real evaluation of Rattler.

The New Orleans Saints’ injury woes have been a frequent topic of discussion and the biggest losses have been on the offensive side of the ball. Rattler has played both of his starts without starting offensive linemen Erik McCoy, Lucas Patrick and Cesar Ruiz.

Rattler played with star wideout Chris Olave for just three snaps, and he only had Rashid Shaheed for a game. Do-it-all tight...

This week, the New Orleans Saints will hit the road to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8 of the 2024 regular season. Michael Peterson of Bolts from the Blue joins us to preview Sunday afternoon’s matchup.

NJ: How much has the offseason addition of HC Jim Harbaugh impacted the culture and attitude within the Chargers’ organization?

MP: I believe the impact of Jim Harbaugh being named the head coach was felt almost instantaneously. From the moment he took the podium at his introductory presser, you could tell he was at home. The man lives and breathes this game, and he wasted little...

College Prospects to Watch: Week Nine

The race for the 2024 College Football Playoff is heating up, and so is the anticipation for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Here are four prospects that New Orleans Saints fans should watch within a loaded slate of college football.

NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 1st - Top 10

LSU fans are well aware of Campbell’s capabilities. He’s been the strongest link on this offensive line since his freshman year in 2022. Although New Orleans drafted offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga in the 2024 NFL Draft, perhaps recent injuries and departures require another young buck on the line. Watch out for Campbell and the...

Saints Week 8 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

It seems to finally be some light at the end of the tunnel for the New Orleans Saints especially after the Thursday night loss against the Broncos when the fantasy points seem to yet again take a hit. This week, the Saints take on the Chargers and will get a few key players back but to be honest, most of them are still banged up and likely won’t result in an abundance of points. You are going to have to dig in your roster to gain a lot of points this week.


Derek Carr- Sit

Derek Carr didn’t participate in practice Thursday and Friday. While he was able to resume throwing earlier this...

Derek Carr's Week 8 injury designation is a bit misleading

  • News source: Darrion Gray

Derek Carr began throwing the football over the weekend and had a few more throwing sessions this week. New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen is on record saying Carr playing this week was unlikely, but don’t allow Carr’s injury designation to make you think hope is still alive.

The Saints listed Carr as doubtful for one reason. They want to have the option to name him the emergency quarterback. If Carr was ruled out ahead of the game, he wouldn’t be able to assume this role.

Spencer Rattler is the starter and Jake Haener will be his backup. Carr’s ability to be the emergency...

This stat says Saints DB is the NFL's most disruptive player through 7 weeks

The 33rd Team has a metric called havoc plays. A havoc play is any tackle for a loss, sack, interception, forced fumble or pass breakup. Instead of individualizing each stat, they compiled them into one stat.

Through seven games, Alontae Taylor has become a master of disruption. The New Orleans Saints defensive back leads the NFL in havoc plays, with 16.

Due to Paulson Adebo’s injury, Taylor’s role will change slightly. He’ll play opposite Marshon Lattimore in base defense. In nickel, Taylor will slide inside and Kool-Aid McKinstry will play outside.

The change in role only increases...

The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers finished their final practice on Friday before their week eight matchup. The Saints have received good news with wide receiver Chris Olave who has been cleared from concussion protocol and will play. Tight end Taysom Hill, linebacker Pete Werner, and guard Cesar Ruiz have also not been given a game-day designation and will play. Quarterback Derek Carr is doubtful, and rookie Spencer Rattler is expected to get his third start.
