Loomis: 'I think we're going to get a really good player'
By John DeShazier - New Orleans Saints
As is the case every year, the possibility that the New Orleans Saints will trade up or down in the first round – or any other round – of the NFL Draft is on the table. But Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that New Orleans will be comfortable if it remains where it is and makes the 14th pick in the first round.
"Yes," Loomis responded when asked if the Saints could select a quality player at 14. "Yes. I think we're going to get a really good player, yes."
The NFL Draft will be held April 25-27 in Detroit, Mich., with the first round occurring Thursday, the second and third rounds taking place Friday and the fourth through seventh rounds happening Saturday.
Currently, the Saints have the Nos. 14 (first round), 45 (second), 150, 168, 170, 175 (fifth), 190, 199 (sixth) and 239 (seventh) picks. Loomis addressed the media from the Ochsner Sports Performance Center during his predraft news conference. ...

What will the Saints do in Round 1?
With the official start of the 2024 NFL Draft just a day away, rumors and smokescreens are starting to surround the lands. Some of them, not so good for the New Orleans Saints if true.
Teams potentially moving up for OT
Just recently today, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah tweeted out that many of his phone calls involved teams potentially moving up for an offensive tackle in round one.
If this in fact were to be true, it begs the question of what does a team like the Saints do in this scenario?
The Saints are the most tackle-needy team in the entire league at the moment meaning that...

ESPN: Reggie Bush will be getting his Heisman Trophy back
It’s about time: ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that the Heisman Trust will return Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy. The former New Orleans Saints running back won that trophy in 2005 after an outstanding three-year run with the USC Trojans, but was forced to forfeit it in 2010 after an NCAA investigation slammed the school for improper recruiting violations.
Thamel adds that an announcement from the Heisman Trust is coming on Wednesday, in which this unprecedented “reinstatement” of Bush’s trophy will be chalked up to “enormous changes in the college football landscape.” Name, image, and...

Reggie Bush responds to the Heisman Trust returning his trophy
Good for Reggie Bush. The former New Orleans Saints running back and USC Trojans star will have the Heisman Trophy he won in 2005 returned to him, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, following a yearslong process of “deliberation” at the Heisman Trust. Bush forfeited the Heisman Trophy in 2010 following an investigation into improper recruiting benefits he received during his career at USC from 2003 to 2005.
Bush probably has a lot to say now that he’s won this unprecedented victory. For now, though, all we have is a brief and carefully-worded statement shared with ESPN.
“Personally, I’m thrilled to...
