The 2024 NFL draft is just around the corner, where teams are busy finalizing their draft boards before things get underway in less than a week.

Our NFL Wire editors are back with another first-round mock draft, including those with teams without a first-round pick as they made their top realistic prediction for Day 2. In our latest mock, there are several trades and plenty of movement with quarterbacks and wide receivers in the first six picks.

With the draft less than a week away, here are our latest first-round projections, along with the top available prospects for teams without a first-round selection.

Pro Football Network released rankings of the easiest schedules in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints were near the top of the list again for the 2024 season.

The Tigers’ defensive lineman dealt with injuries through a large portion of his college career but has the potential for a lot of success at the next level.

Everyone has been focused on the offensive line with New Orleans, but what about their defensive front? When should they look to address that need?

ESPN suggests Saints package Trevor Penning in a trade for his replacement

There’s a real possibility the New Orleans Saints could call it quits on the Trevor Penning experiment. If they can find a better left tackle in the 2024 NFL draft, it’s worth moving him to guard or right tackle to play the better player — and it just might be worth moving him to a new team altogether if it means they can go get that better left tackle.

That’s the scenario offered by ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, who drew up trades for every team picking in the first round of this year’s draft. If there’s a possibility the Saints could package Penning in a deal to move up and get this year’s top...

B/R: Saints' inactivity hurts their offseason grade heading into the draft

Bleacher Report scouting department has graded the offseason for each NFL team. Kris Knox evaluated the NFC teams while his constituent Alex Ballentine evaluated the AFC. Free agency obviously plays a big part, but salary cap management, preparation for the 2024 draft and general team direction all play a part in forming the team’s grade.

The New Orleans Saints haven’t been overly active in free agency. The biggest move they made was bringing in Chase Young on a prove it contract. That likely brings down their grade, but they have managed the cap well this offseason. The rest of the...

LSU prospect Maason Smith met with Saints on pre-draft visit

Could this be the year the New Orleans Saints make LSU fans happy? The Saints have been linked to several prominent Tigers prospects in the 2024 NFL draft, having hosted wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. at their local pro day while sending a huge contingent of coaches, scouts, and other team personnel to LSU’s pro day workouts.

And we can add LSU defensive tackle Maason Smith to the list of players they’ve met with before the 2024 draft. Smith told The Draft Network’s Justin Melo that the Saints were the first of many formal visits he’s made in recent weeks: “I started off in New Orleans...

We’ll start with the bad news: it’s tough to glean much from a four-round mock draft when the New Orleans Saints only own two picks. Out of the first 135 selections in the 2024 draft, just two belong to the black and gold (at Nos. 14 and 45). A series of trades by general manager Mickey Loomis has cost the team a lot of draft capital, and they don’t have much to show for it.

Now let’s focus on the good news. The Saints can still come away with two impactful players with these two picks. That’s what happened in this four-round mock draft from Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy. And each player...

Saints enter the NFL draft with questions along the offensive line

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints could have a hard time passing up a promising prospect at offensive tackle should one be available to them in the 2024 NFL draft.

New Orleans' offensive line was among the club's strengths for much of the past decade and a half. More recently, however, the unit has struggled with both health and performance.

Right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, a 2019 All-Pro who missed last season's final four games with a nagging knee injury, has had surgery in an effort to prolong his NFL career. But his status for next season, which would be his eighth, remains unclear.

Per Justin Melo of The Draft Network, former LSU defensive tackle Maason Smith has visited with over 12 teams and one of those teams is the New Orleans Saints.

Born in Houma, Louisiana, Maason Smith - called Tooka by his close friends and family - is an exciting defensive line prospect, and one that the Saints could select during the draft week.

Could he fit the system here in New Orleans? I say yes. He has an amount of explosiveness and athleticism that would benefit any defense. This past season would be his first full season of football in two years, after missing most of the 2022...
