Take a bow, Mickey Loomis. And Jeff Ireland. You too, Dave Ziegler and Randy Mueller — the four different general managers (past and present) who crowded into the New Orleans Saints’ war room for the 2024 NFL draft.

You don’t see this too often. Pro Football Focus draft analyst Trevor Sikkema awarded the Saints with an elusive A-plus grade for their haul in the 2024 draft. Not just for getting the most out of their early-round picks in right tackle Taliese Fuaga and cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, but for getting great value later on with picks like quarterback Spencer Rattler and...

You can’t say the New Orleans Saints are overlooking NFL talent in their own backyard. A couple of undrafted players have been invited to participate in the Saints’ upcoming rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill: Tulane offensive lineman Cameron Wire and Mississippi State safety Shawn Preston.

Rookie minicamp has been scheduled for May 10-12. Wire’s Tulane teammate Sincere Haynesworth, the Green Wave’s longtime starting center, will be in the mix after signing an undrafted free agent contract with the Saints on Saturday. Preston is taking the same...

2024 Draft Grades: Saints pick DT Khristian Boyd with No. 199 overall selection

The New Orleans Saints got one of ‘their guys’ from this draft process in Northern Iowa’s Khristian Boyd with the No. 199 overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft.

Trevor Penning’s former teammate is known for his strength. Boyd put up an insane 38 reps of 225 on the bench. He uses that strength to his advantage as a run stuffer, but that’s really all he’ll be expected to do at the next level.

Much like Penning, he plays with a high motor and is very aggressive off of the snap. He should have a rotational role as a rookie, much like the Saints usually get out of their undrafted free...

257 picks are in the books, but the New Orleans Saints are far from finished. The hours and days after the 2024 NFL draft will be filled with phone calls and rapid negotiations as the Saints compete with other teams to recruit undrafted players. These rookie free agents make up a huge part of the league’s workforce, and it’s vital that the Saints get their guys.

New Orleans has had a lot of success signing and developing undrafted free agents over the years. More recently they’ve picked up playmakers like wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, defensive end Carl Granderson, and safety J.T. Gray (who has earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition for his work on special teams). Every year a couple of these rookie free agents make the final 53-man roster, and some of them turn out to be real diamonds found in the rough.

These players are hoping to take the same path, following in their footsteps. Check this space often for instant analysis on each reported undrafted free agent signing:

Saints select a little-known offensive lineman with their final 2024 draft pick

The New Orleans Saints spent their final pick in the 2024 NFL draft on Josiah Ezirim, an Eastern Kentucky offensive lineman, who they selected at No. 239 overall. That’s the pick they got back from the Denver Broncos in exchange for Wil Lutz last year. So what’s his story?

Ezirim turns 23 in May, and he played a lot of snaps at Eastern Kentucky over the last two years while starting at right tackle. Pro Football Focus charting found that he allowed just two sacks during that time, and he was nearly perfect on a career-high 490 snaps in pass protection last season. The Colonels ran with...

Here is the New Orleans Saints' 2024 draft class

There it is. The 2024 NFL draft is in the books, and it was a unique experience for New Orleans Saints fans. Their team only traded up once despite owning a wealth of selections on the draft’s third and final day, opting to stay put and let the board fall to them. It’s a reversal of their usually-aggressive strategy under general manager Mickey Loomis. Maybe it will lead to better results than we’ve seen in other drafts.

That strategy led to some very interesting pickups. Here’s a recap of the Saints’ 2024 draft class so you can get to know the rookies better:

The New Orleans Saints added another offensive tackle in the final round of the 2024 NFL draft by selecting Josiah Ezirim, an offensive tackle from Eastern Kentucky.

Ezirim stands at 6’6’’ and weighs 329 pounds. His RAS score was high at 8.50, which is something the Saints really take into consideration when drafting their future players. He spent four years with the Colonels but switched from the defensive line to the offensive line in 2022.

In the past two years, he’s played 1,392 snaps, all on offense. Ezirim would only allow two sacks, both coming in the 2022 season. He was named...

The New Orleans Saints have had some great picks during the 2024 NFL draft cycle, and defensive lineman Khristian Boyd is no exception. He is a high-level run blocker that they met with earlier in the offseason process for an official 30 visit. With many other teams being involved, the Saints were able to snag Boyd at No. 199 in the sixth round.

One of Boyd’s biggest positive traits is his strength, which is immediately apparent whenever you watch him play. But it is also apparent when you watch his bench press video from the UNI pro day, where he put up 38 reps of 225 and set a school...
