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...

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...

Ranking Saints' 5 biggest needs heading into the NFL draft

The New Orleans Saints have a lot of holes entering the 2024 NFL draft. When you look at the Saints’ roster, there are a lot of players who could step up to fill this void but not a lot of certainty. For example, if A.T. Perry steps up the Saints likely don’t need to draft a receiver. If Jordan Howden capitalizes on some nice flashes his rookie year, the Saints are set at safety. How many of these kinds of situations are you comfortable entering next season with?

The Saints won’t walk away from the draft with confidence in all of these position, of course, but they should at least look into trying to fill these positions early in their draft. The most obvious hole is at each of the offensive tackle positions, which is why New Orleans is most often connected to the top offensive tackles in the draft. What are the Saints’ top five needs heading into the NFL draft?

It’s going to be a busy night in the New Orleans Saints war room. The team is in a great spot to improve with the 2024 NFL draft, but there are many voices in that room calling for different solutions.

And there aren’t many voices louder than Jeff Ireland, the team’s vice president of college personnel and assistant general manager. The Saints’ longtime college scouting director has been highly influential in building the roster and they’ll be leaning on him again in 2024.

So where could they be looking to get better? The Saints have an obvious vacancy at offensive tackle with Ryan...

The 2024 NFL draft is only a few hours away now, and with that, everyone is speculating who their team could be drafting, or better yet, “should” be drafting. The New Orleans Saints have a pretty distinct need at offensive tackle, as seen in many media predictions for pick 14. However, there are some prospects that may also be too talented to look over if the Saints were looking to trade up, or potentially if there were to be a fall for a few prospects. In this article we will take a look at what we call “dream” prospects for New Orleans, in that they would be phenomenal value at pick 14, or worthy of trading up for in some cases to drastically improve the team.

The NFL Draft kicks off tonight with the first round, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday and the fourth through seventh rounds on Saturday.

As always, the NFL has invited some players and celebrities to announce selections in the second and third round of the draft. The New Orleans Saints currently hold one pick on Friday, pick 45, and the guest announcer will be none other than Taysom Hill.

Some other notable names that will be announcing picks on Friday include Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Issac Bruce and Ric Flair.

What would you do with the 14th overall pick if you were in charge of the New Orleans Saints? Trade up, trade down, or stay put and pick your favorite player? Which prospects would you target? It isn’t an easy question to answer, and the Saints themselves have spent months developing their strategy.

With the 2024 NFL draft’s first round getting closer by the minute, our staff writers shared their thoughts on how they would approach the situation. Now all we have to do is take Mickey Loomis’ place inside the Saints’ war room:

Taysom Hill to announce Saints' second round draft pick

One of the New Orleans Saints’ newest players will be greeted by a new teammate. Taysom Hill will announce the team’s second round pick in the 2024 draft on Friday night, the NFL announced Thursday, along with many other current and former players around the league.

The Saints are currently scheduled to pick at No. 45 overall. So unless they trade that selection — in a potential move up from the 14th slot in Thursday night’s first round — then it’ll be Hill welcoming his new teammate to the NFL.

It’s tempting to read into this as an indicator of Hill’s job security. He currently has one...

4 scenarios the Saints can get their tackle without trading up

The New Orleans Saints should be looking for an offensive tackle in the first round of the NFL draft. Unfortunately for them, many other teams are also looking for an offensive tackle. That puts them in a situation where they possibly could be sitting at No. 14 with all of the prominent offensive tackles off the board.

The Saints are possibly in the market for both tackles, so Taliese Fuaga, Olu Fashanu, Troy Fautanu, JC Latham are all viable options. Joe Alt staying on the board this far would be beyond shocking. We’re keeping it realistic, and at least one of those four prospects could be available at No. 14. These are three hypotheticals that would likely lead to one or multiple offensive tackles being available without trading up. This would all have to happen before the Saints pick.

It’s time to take the stage. The first round of the 2024 NFL draft is almost here — in just a few hours teams will begin making picks and welcoming 32 new players to the pros.

While the New Orleans Saints aren’t scheduled to pick until 14th overall, there is plenty of intrigue surrounding what may be a chaotic 2024 draft. And maybe the Saints get involved with a trade or two themselves. Rumors are already swirling about which teams may be on the move, who may want to move up, and who could be willing to move down. But it all starts here when the Chicago Bears go on the clock with Thursday night’s first selection.

Here is a look at the complete order of picks for Round 1, which begins tonight at 7 p.m. CT:
