The New Orleans Saints have been one of the NFL's most prolific teams when it comes to draft day trades, but they only ever seem to go one direction.

In 2007 the team traded their second round pick to the Lions for 3rd and 5th round selections. Since that point New Orleans has executed 25 trades, all of which have moved them up the board.

"Every year I say that we’re willing to do either way and then I’m like [25-0] going up," Loomis said in his annual pre-draft press conference. "So it’s kind of hard for me to keep saying that I’m willing to trade back and then I haven’t done it for quite some time.”

The New Orleans Saints have had on-and-off success over the last eight years in the NFL draft. The hiring of Jeff Ireland coincides with this trend. It’s typically pretty solid with some deathly lows. The second round has arguably been their best round in that time frame. Leave Foskey as TBD and Ireland’s worst second rounder is Pete Werner. That’s a pretty strong hit rate.

As this year’s draft rolls around, Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler took a look at each team’s highs over the last ten years. Fowler formed an ultimate draft class of each team’s best selection from each round over the...

NEW ORLEANS — Did you forget the NFL offseason started in March and culminates with the draft starting this Thursday? It's ok if you did, the New Orleans Saints didn't do anything worth paying attention to anyway.

The Saints need to inject some excitement and reason to hope in 2024 to the dullest Saints offseason I can ever remember. The Saint's biggest moves were changing offensive coordinators and adding a defensive end, who had neck surgery the day after he signed with the Saints.

The 2024 NFL Draft is about to get underway in a few days and the New Orleans Saints hold the 14th overall pick in the first round.

As he does every year, Saints GM Mickey Loomis held a pre-draft press conference to discuss all things draft related with the media. Here were some of the highlights from Loomis’ Tuesday presser:

“For us, we will look at, since we’re at 14, what it takes to get to 13? What’s it take to get to 12, 11, 10, nine, eight. That’s probably about where I’ll cut it off. Then I’ll go back, how far back are we willing to go? Generally, I’ll go ten spots in front and...

Trevor Penning not yet an option at guard for the Saints

Trevor Penning’s NFL career has not gone as planned. The 2022 first-round pick only started one game in his rookie year, and the New Orleans Saints benched him after just six starts last season. Now he’s going into Year 3 without a spot guaranteed in the starting lineup. So what’s the plan for him? What can he do to ditch the dreaded “bust” label?

Will Penning move inside to guard in 2024, or is he still training to play at left tackle? Is he still seen as a tackle at all? How does Mickey Loomis answer that question?

“Yeah,” Loomis confirmed when asked exactly that during Tuesday’s...

Just how confident is Mickey Loomis that Marshon Lattimore will be playing for the New Orleans Saints this year? The team’s general manager fielded questions from local media during his pre-2024 draft press conference on Tuesday, and the topic of Lattimore’s status came up.

So how did Loomis react when asked whether he was confident Lattimore would be on the roster this year?

“Yeah,” Loomis said, but when asked if he’d have responded with anything but a positive confirmation, he replied with “What do you think?”

When asked a follow-up question, Loomis tried to tamp it down, saying that...

Props to Alvin Kamara for making the most of his offseason. The New Orleans Saints running back headlined “The Catch” sport fishing tournament in Florida last week, teaming up with Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert to win the whole thing. They competed with other NFL players including Kamara’s former Saints teammates Trey Hendrickson and Jameis Winston.

One of the highlights of the fishing rodeo came when Kamara and two of his teammates hooked three sailfish at the same time. Kamara described it as “Chaos. Organized chaos … It was great. Lot of moving parts, but I think we did it...
