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.

Wednesday’s Saints vs. Rams injury report

The New Orleans Saints hope to keep their playoff chances alive against the Los Angeles Rams. After their bye, the Saints are looking the healthiest they have all season, listing just six players on Wednesday’s injury report. While the Saints are getting back to healthy, the offensive line remains a concern as center Erik McCoy and guard Lucas Patrick missed practice with injuries. New Orleans opened the 21-day return window for defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon who tore his Achilles during the offseason.

Surpassing the 'interim bump' must be a focus for Darren Rizzi

When a team makes a change at head coach, that can sometimes lead to a jolt around the team. Renewed energy can make you feel like you’re watching a completely different team. That energy a lot of times, but not all the time, is temporary.

The New Orleans Saints moved on from Dennis Allen in the middle of the season and appointed Darren Rizzi the interim head coach. Since then, the Saints have won their last two contests.

The temporary nature of these jolts isn’t lost on Rizzi, and it’s his responsibility to ensure the momentum wasn’t temporary. He labels keeping energy steady a point of...

Week 13 Saints-Rams injury report keeps getting shorter

The changes interim head coach Darren Rizzi made to the New Orleans Saints practice routine are working. Just six players were listed on the initial Week 13 injury report ahead of their upcoming game with the Los Angeles Rams, making it one of the shortest injury reports (if not the shortest) we’ve seen in years.

Two of them didn’t practice on Wednesday, but they’re both starting offensive linemen. Rizzi had indicated the team would take things slowly with Erik McCoy (groin) after his recent return from injured reserve, but left guard Lucas Patrick (calf) didn’t get on the field, either...

Earlier this week, we asked our readers to vote on whether they thought the New Orleans Saints would defeat the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and how confident are they that the team is moving in the right direction. 64% of voters believe that the Saints will get their 3rd win in a row after Sunday’s game in the Caesars Superdome.

Meanwhile, 78% of voters think that the Saints are headed in the right direction. The team comes into this matchup fresh off of a bye week, under Darren Rizzi who has gotten the team fired up the past few weeks. If they win again this week against LA, you can...

Saints would be thankful to get this Michigan standout in the 2025 NFL draft

It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints defensive line isn’t what it used to be. They’re giving up 5.0 yards per rushing attempt this season, second-worst in the NFL. Second-year pro Bryan Bresee has made some strides as a pass rusher but he hasn’t quite developed into the three-down asset the Saints hoped for, at least not yet. He could use some more help in the middle of the line.

That’s why Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy linked the Saints to Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham in his latest projection. He’s a finalist for the exclusive Outland Trophy, the national award for college...

Chris Olave 'in a good place' after second concussion in 2024

Has Chris Olave already caught his last pass with the New Orleans Saints this season? It’s certainly possible. The standout wide receiver suffered two concussions in his first eight games and was put on injured reserve, and there’s currently no timetable for him to return to the field. At least not in pads and a helmet. Olave was spotted at the Saints practice facility this week spectating and dapping up teammates, but he’s not ready to run routes and take on contact.

Interim head coach Darren Rizzi shared an update on Olave’s status after practice on Tuesday.

Saints move up in the 2025 draft order after their bye week

The New Orleans Saints moved up one spot in the NFL draft order after Week 12, and they didn’t even have to lose a game to get it done.

There was a point where New Orleans had a top-five selection. A coaching change and 2 wins in a row later and New Orleans was the last team in the top-ten. After Week 12’s action, the Saints moved from the tenth pick to the ninth.

Ironically, it was a Dallas Cowboys victory that helped them out. When the Cowboys surprisingly defeated the Washington Commanders, it created a complete logjam with several competing teams at 4-7. The Saints may have beaten...

The New Orleans Saints have voted for their 2024 Ed Block Courage Award winner, and this year the recipient will be third-year linebacker Nephi Sewell. Sewell has been on the long road to recovery from an ACL injury back in Week 17 of the 2023 season, and was able to suit up for his first game of the 2024 season in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. His recovery, work ethic, and perseverance are listed as the reasons for why he was voted by his teammates, and he is absolutely deserving of this honor with how difficult the recovery from ACL injuries are.
