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.

The New Orleans Saints officially hit rock bottom after a loss to the then-1-7 Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to get much of any help from their rookie players in their efforts to win either. Most of this years class was inactive last week which was almost the opposite just a week ago. Injuries upon injuries, as well as a change at quarterback, led to minimal impact in Sunday’s game.

Let’s see what our Week 9 grades came out to be for the Saints 2024 rookie class:

Marshon Lattimore, Za’Darius Smith, Mike Williams, Preston Smith and Tre’Davious White were sent to winning teams. Jonathan Mingo and Khalil Herbert are going to a place where they'll play more.

NFL teams, especially contenders, were active before Tuesday's trade deadline at 4 p.m. EST.

The NFC East-leading Commanders made a move to help them try to stay in first place, acquiring Lattimore from the struggling Saints (2-7). The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback bolsters a defense that’s already No. 5 against the pass. The Saints are getting a third-round pick, a fourth-rounder and their own...

The New Orleans Saints trading away Marshon Lattimore was unfortunately something that ended up becoming a reality on Tuesday, as they sent the veteran cornerback to the Washington Commanders. Lattimore was one of the best Saints players we had seen in a decent while at the cornerback position, maybe ever. Now he moves on to Washington to help them build off of a 7-2 start and an NFC East lead through nine weeks.

Not a ton of Saints teammates have made mention of the trade on social media yet, but one player who did was defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, who seems to not relish the idea of...

Darren Rizzi, the new interim head coach of the New Orleans Saints shared a few strong and emotional comments during his debut press conference on Monday. Despite all those comments being very cut and dry, he also had a few funny observations come up from his promotion.

Specifically one regarding T-shirts that Saints players had printed out last season, around Christmastime, in regards to him. These shirts read “Merry Rizzmas” a play on Rizzi’s last name and what he referred to as the “word of the year” in 2023.

tThe New Orleans Saints trade of Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders is complete, and now they will have to face him sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a Dec. 15 date set with the Saints in the Caesars Superdome for a matchup that will likely end up not going the way of New Orleans based on their performances this season.

With the Commanders sitting at 7-2 and atop the NFC East, a matchup with the 2-7 bottom of the NFC South Saints is likely not much of a threat, especially now with their new defensive powerhouse Marshon Lattimore.

This will be the first matchup...

Not all third-round picks are equal. That’s something the New Orleans Saints will be learning the hard way after general manager Mickey Loomis missed a crucial detail in trade talks with the Washington Commanders.

Four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore was traded to Washington in a deal that brought back multiple draft picks. But the linchpin of the Commanders’ trade package was the third-round pick. Washington owned two third-round picks, and Loomis took the worst one.

Instead of getting Washington’s third-round choice from the Miami Dolphins, projected at No. 72 overall...

The New Orleans Saints have traded 4x Pro-Bowl CB Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders, per Adam Schefter in exchange for a 3rd, 4th and 6th round pick.

Lattimore was drafted by the Saints in the 1st round (11th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. His time in New Orleans has been filled with many highs and lows. In 2017, he was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and has been selected to the Pro-Bowl 4 times (2017, 2019-2021)

Unfortunately, over the past 2 seasons, Lattimore has also suffered several injuries. In 2022, he missed 10 games due to a lacerated kidney. In 2023...
