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 are, in fact, requesting an interview with Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. New reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and NewOrleans.Football’s Mike Triplett confirms their interest in the former Cardinals head coach, as NFL insider Josina Anderson said earlier this week.

Kingsbury didn’t have a ton of success as the Arizona Cardinals head coach, but he’s shown a knack for developing young quarterbacks and his work with Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels has put him back on the NFL’s radar. Whether the Saints are looking to maximize...

The New Orleans Saints have restructured their first contract of the offseason, clearing over $16M with former All-Pro lineman Ryan Ramczyk.

It looks like Russell Wilson may be looking for a new spot this offseason and the Black and Gold have been linked as a top suitor.

Here’s a breakdown of the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions and how his return to New Orleans could and could not work.

Should the Saints hire Kellen Moore as the next head coach?

On Jan. 6, the news broke that the New Orleans Saints would be adding many names to their head coaching search. One of them, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, is Philidelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

While currently coaching for the Eagles, Moore used to be the OC for the Chargers and Cowboys. A young coach, he was also a Cowboy’s quarterback as recently as 2017.

But due to me growing up 40 minutes away from AT&T Stadium, I’m apprehensive about this move. Moore never seemed to be the belle of the ball for the fans or the local media as OC. Wanting specifics...

Dennis Allen details what happened the day he was fired

Former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen joined Jay Glazer on Glazer’s ‘Unbreakable’ podcast, where Allen reflected on the day he was informed he was being relieved of his duties.

The most interesting tidbit of the story was Allen mentioned Mickey Loomis “was not really in favor of this move.” That was evident by Loomis insisting Allen was a good coach after the firing. While there’s something to be said for not kicking a man when he’s down, this felt sincere.

The assumption has floated around since the decision, but Allen’s comments all but confirms this was a Gayle Benson...

Could Aaron Glenn be the next head coach of the Saints?

The New Orleans Saints have requested interviews with many head coach candidates so far, but to me, one stands above the rest. Aaron Glenn is one of the top candidates in the NFL for several head coaching spots. The Jets, Bears, Raiders, and Saints have all requested an interview with Glenn, and I would not be surprised to see the Jags follow suit in the coming days. The NFL respects Glenn, and that’s evident from the massive amount of interest around the league, but what makes him a top candidate?

When Aaron Glenn took over as Lions defensive coordinator in 2021, the defense was in a bad...

Saints' pursuit of Aaron Glenn may be more difficult than first expected

The New Orleans Saints and Aaron Glenn have been connected since New Orleans moved on from Dennis Allen in the middle of the season. Now that the regular season is over, that process has gotten a bit murkier.

Darren Rizzi got his chance to make his case as the interim head coach. Even if given the benefit of the doubt for working with a limited cast of players, it’s hard to make an argument he did enough to pass Glenn as the Saints’ favorite.

The murkiness comes into play when you look at what’s in front of Glenn after the Detroit Lions finish their season. When conversations around...

Here’s another name for the New Orleans Saints head coach search: Kliff Kingsbury, per NFL insider Josina Anderson. The Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and former Arizona Cardinals head coach has shown a knack for developing talented quarterbacks, but a lack of team success has led to some thought that he’s best suited as a coordinator, not a top-level decisionmaker.

However, The Times-Picayune | Advocate’s Matthew Paras (a former Commanders beat writer) says the Saints “have to make a request to speak with him at this time.” That would make Kingsbury the third head coach...
