Offensive line could tempt Saints at No. 9 overall

Watch out for offensive line at the top of this year’s New Orleans Saints draft class. Conversations are heating up around what the Saints might look to do at No. 9 overall, and there looks to be a good chance that New Orleans leans on the league’s old, faithful notion and builds the trenches.

The draft week rumors are usually robust. Back in 2020, the draft week rumor was that the team was enticed by Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor and were possibly looking to trade up for him. Ultimately, when the Saints were up on the clock at pick No. 24, Taylor on the board, the team instead selected offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz.

A year later, the Saints were said to have interest in trading up for either cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II or Jaycee Horn. But with selecting at No. 28 overall, there was little chance for the team to find a way to make that move.

In this instance, even though the rumors were true (former head coach Sean Payton later confirmed so), the Saints could not get it done.

That same year, New Orleans had been loosely connected to Stanford quarterback Davis Mills, who the team passed up on twice before he finally went to the Houston Texans at No. 67.

The lesson here is that the bigger the rumor, even when confirmed on draft day or during draft week, the harder they fall in hindsight. This year’s rumor of building in the trenches, however, makes perfect sense. ...

The Browns and Giants are open to trading back in the NFL Draft, per report

The 2025 NFL Draft is only two days away, and trade rumors are rampant. Yesterday, it was reported that the New Orleans Saints were making calls to see if they could trade up from pick 40, and today, per Adam Schefter, the Cleveland Browns (No. 2) and the New York Giants (No. 3) are open to trading back from their first-round selections.

This is an interesting scenario for the Saints. Trading up from pick 9 is very risky with how much needs to be fixed with this roster, and I think New Orleans should stay away from doing this, but Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter changes things.

These two...

The New Orleans Saints are days away from (potentially) making their first top 10 pick in over a decade. They’re one of the hardest teams in the league to figure out right now. Rumors were swirling that they have their mind set on taking a quarterback, but now people are reporting it doesn’t feel like they’re going to take one at nine (which could very well be a diversion after the Patrick Mahomes fiasco).

Needless to say, Thursday is going to be a very interesting day, but so will the rest of the NFL Draft. The Saints absolutely need to nail this thing as they look to reload and give...

7-Round NFL Mock Draft: How the Saints can contend… with a new quarterback

Since Drew Brees’ retirement on March 14, 2021, the quarterbacks playing in Brees’ stead have completed 1,377 passes in 2,173 attempts (63.4%) for 14,356 yards (6.6 yards per attempt). 102 touchdowns, 50 interceptions, and a passer rating of 90.4, 17th-best in the NFL.

In those four seasons, the Saints have a combined record of 30-38, and they haven’t made the playoffs once.

So when we got the news that a shoulder injury might affect Derek Carr’s availability for the 2025 season, it begs the question: How much does (and should) that affect the team’s plans at the position? The four-year...
