Time will tell whether New Orleans Saints officials over-paid to move up 13 spots in the first round of the 83rd annual NFL draft to acquire UT-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport with the 14th overall pick.

Most post-draft analyses indicate Davenport is a worthy selection at No. 14 but not at the compensation GM Mickey Loomis handed to the Green Bay Packers — first- and fifth-round picks in 2018 and a first-rounder in '19. It is the kind of pick package that typically would result in the selection of a quarterback perhaps, but not a defensive end.

I understand that position from a historical perspective.

According to Mike Triplett, who covers the Saints for ESPN.com, history shows that few teams in the common-draft era ever trade two first-round picks to draft a non-quarterback.

It’s official. New Orleans Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk is retiring from the NFL. Ramczyk made the announcement via his Instagram account earlier tonight.

“What an incredible journey it’s been. My path to the NFL wasn’t a straight line, it wasn’t the story most people expect. There were moments when people doubted me, moments when I doubted myself. It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes the road less traveled leads to places you never expected, but it ends up being exactly where you were meant to be. Today I reflect on all the twists and turns that got me to this point, from technical college...

Adam Rank of NFL Network published his latest NFL mock draft; however, this time, it comes with a twist. Instead of predicting what teams will do, his latest mock draft focuses on what he believes they should do.

So, when the New Orleans Saints were on the clock at nine, he had them adding Will Johnson, a cornerback out of Michigan, to their roster. This pick comes with prospects like Mason Graham, Teteiora McMillian, and Sheduer Sanders still on the board.

“Don’t be scared off by the uncertainty around Johnson’s unknown 40 time, Saints,” Rank said. “...take a swing on a new potential...

We are neck deep in NFL Draft mock season and ESPN has dropped a new one on us this morning from Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates. These picks are based on what they’re hearing and how each team might tackle roster needs. Additionally, they took turns making the selections. Alright, now I’ll jump to the selections for the New Orleans Saints.
