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’ moves will be a bit limited with the current cap situation, but GM Mickey Loomis had recent comments that talked about the team being a bit more active than last year. This does not mean the team will be wasting money on big names but possibly bringing in more players on 1-year deals than last year. Some cap gymnastics will need to happen, but it can be done without pushing too much money into the future and ruining the cap cleaning the Saints are working towards. The issue with going in this direction, even if it is correct, is that the Saints will miss out on...

The New Orleans Saints are releasing veteran running back Jamaal Williams, per Ari Meirov. Williams has spent two seasons in New Orleans. Williams’ release will save the Saints $1.59 million in cap space.

Williams signed a three-year $12 million contract with the Saints in March 2023. The veteran running back was never able to find his footing in New Orleans, however, running for just 470 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons. Williams signed with the Saints after career year with the Detroit Lions, in which he ran for 1,066 yards and 17 touchdowns.
