New Orleans Saints fans can rejoice as they end up landing one of the top tackles in the class with right tackle Taliese Fuaga out of Oregon State. The Saints selected Fuaga at No. 14 inn the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.

With Ryan Ramczyk’s knee a ticking time bomb, Fuaga makes the most sense out of anyone else on the board right now. A lot of people had him as their second best tackle in the class, but he ends up being the fourth one taken.

Fuaga is an athletic freak and mauler at right tackle, checking pretty much every box that the Saints could have asked for while picking...

Everything was set up for the New Orleans Saints to trade down in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. A historic streak of 13 offensive players — including an unprecedented six quarterbacks — set up the Saints at No. 14 with all of this year’s top defenders available. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport even reported that the Saints were picking up the phone and talking with teams who wanted to trade up.

But Mickey Loomis couldn’t be dissuaded. After working the phones for five minutes Loomis didn’t find an offer worth accepting, and the Saints chose to stay put and pick Oregon State right...

The 2024 NFL draft has huge implications for the New Orleans Saints, especially considering they have quite a few positions of need remaining after the first wave of free agency. They were able to make their first selection tonight

With the 14th overall pick, the New Orleans Saints selected offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga from Oregon State University. Ultimately, this is a pick that many thought would not be possible as he was projected to go in the top ten, typically to the New York Jets in most cases. However, Fuaga fell a couple more picks right into the Saints’ laps.

Fuaga fills an...

DETROIT — The New Orleans Saints selected All-American offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga with the 14th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Fuaga is a 6-foot-6, 324-pound behemoth out of Oregon State who recorded a 5.13 40-yard dash and a 32-inch vertical jump at the NFL Combine last month.

The Saints entered the draft in urgent need of adding depth to a depleted offensive line that just took another critical hit earlier in the week following the retirement of 10-year veteran James Hurst.

Klint Kubiak had the perfect answer about Saints' future on offense

Few teams struggled to sustain drives or end them with touchdowns like the New Orleans Saints did last year. You’d be hard pressed to find more offenses that had as many run-run-pass-punt sequences or short field goal tries. So it’s reassuring to hear new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak share a great plan for fixing what’s broken:

Kubiak spoke with WWL Radio on Thursday evening in a wide-ranging interview, ostensibly for previewing the 2024 draft (which we transcribed here). But this was Kubiak’s first exposure to local media, and so he ended up revealing more than may have been...

Breaking: Falcons select QB Michael Penix Jr at No. 8 overall

That’s a stunner. Is stunner the right word? The Atlanta Falcons have decided to select Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall in the 2024 NFL draft.

Despite signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract this offseason, the Falcons still decide to take a quarterback that will be 28 years old when that deal expires.

It’s not that Penix isn’t a good player, it’s just that it is a head-scratcher of a pick given their needs and even potential to be a contender. Instead of building up their defense, they take someone that truthfully might never see the...

The 2024 NFL draft has huge implications for the New Orleans Saints without a doubt. However, it is equally as important to look at who their NFC South rivals are drafting, so let’s take a look at who the Atlanta Falcons selected tonight.

With the 8th overall pick, the Atlanta Falcons selected Michael Penix Jr, quarterback from the University of Washington. Penix and Washington were the runner-up in the National Championship game against the Michigan Wolverines. After paying Kirk Cousins $180 million for four years and $100 million guaranteed, the Falcons have elected to take their...

Former Saints GM Randy Mueller returns to help with 2024 draft prep

It’s not often you see a team’s former general manager return to help out his successor, but that’s the unique position the New Orleans Saints took in preparing for the 2024 NFL draft. Nola.com’s Jeff Duncan reported that former Saints GM Randy Mueller spent the last two weeks assisting with final evaluations.

Mueller earned recognition as the NFL Executive of the Year back in 2000, having overhauled the Saints’ roster and set them up on the road to recovery from Mike Ditka’s disastrous trade for Ricky Williams. But he was unceremoniously ousted by team owner Tom Benson just a few years...

What will the New Orleans Saints do in the 2024 NFL draft? Everyone has a take, but Derek Carr isn’t going to share his. When given the opportunity to share input on his team’s draft strategy, as Cameron Jordan did on NFL Network, Carr opted to keep his head down and trust the front office to make the right pick.

“I don’t know, but I will say this,” Carr told ESPN’s Katherine Terrell at the Zurich Classic Pro-Am golf tournament. “I know that whoever’s about to show up, they just have to be ready to work. Our team right now is in such a good place, our work ethic, they’re getting after us...

A couple of New Orleans Saints quarterbacks teamed up at the Zurich Classic Pro-Am golf tournament this week. Saints legend Drew Brees enjoyed an afternoon with his successor Derek Carr at TPC Louisiana, along with tour pros Zach Johnson and Ryan Palmer. Carr has made a point to cultivate a relationship with the team’s best-ever player, and afterwards he shared some insight to what that bond looks like.

“So him and I, early in the offseason I talked to him and picked his brain for a long time. I always feel bad because I know he has kids and all that, I get it. We planned a time, I picked...

Report: Marshon Lattimore could be traded during 2024 draft

We aren’t out of the woods just yet. The New Orleans Saints could trade star cornerback Marshon Lattimore during the 2024 NFL draft, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Here’s what he had to say about this situation while touching on several different veteran players who may be traded:

It would be prohibitively expensive for the Saints to trade Lattimore right now. New Orleans would have to pay another $16.6 million against the salary cap if Lattimore were traded before June 1. So it makes more sense to wait until after that date to seriously entertain trade offers.

Combine the monetary cost with...
