This is always a fun moment in the NFL draft. Players gather with their families and close friends for a life-changing moment in which they’ll learn they’re being drafted and officially turning pro.

And we got to see Taliese Fuaga and his family experience that on Thursday night. The New Orleans Saints’ first-round pick was in Hawaii with family watching the television broadcast like everyone else, and cheers broke out when he found out where he’d be playing pro football.

Good for him. Fuaga is a perfect fit for the wide zone rushing offense that Klint Kubiak is installing in New...

BREAKING: Saints select Taliese Fuaga with 14th overall pick

The New Orleans Saints have selected Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga with the 14th overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fuaga, a 2023 first-team All-American, was rated as highly as the 2nd offensive tackle prospect by PFF.

After Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye flew off the board 1-2-3, Joe Alt and JC Latham quickly followed, and it appeared early on that the Black and Gold was going to have to move up to find their guy. However, there was a quick run-on quarterbacks again and the Saints actually entertained trade offers right before taking Fuaga at 14...

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...

Trade offers couldn't budge Mickey Loomis into trading down in Round 1

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.

Saints select offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga 14th overall in 2024 NFL Draft

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...
