The New Orleans Saints made some popular picks in the 2024 draft. ESPN ranked three of them among this year’s 100 best selections, starting with first-round right tackle Taliese Fuaga. Here’s why ESPN’s Matt Miller argues Fuaga was the 24th-best pick out of the 257 selections in this year’s draft:

But they didn’t stop there. The Saints also nailed their second-round choice, which was a trade up four spots to select cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry. Miller ranked that pick at 77th in his top 100, writing:

However, that McKinstry pick wasn’t even the team’s second-best move on draft day...

Look ahead a few months and we can guess what New Orleans Saints fans will be asking: why hasn’t Kool-Aid McKinstry signed his contract? Recent collective bargaining agreements between the NFL and the players union has streamlined negotiations on rookie contracts, so there aren’t many points of conflict remaining. Most of the Saints draft class now signs their deals after rookie minicamp in May. But there’s one area that has turned into a battlefield: contracts for second round picks.

First-round pick contracts are fully guaranteed for the first four years, and we’re seeing players picked...

The New Orleans Saints have signed Vanderbilt punter Matthew Hayball as an undrafted free agent.

New Orleans released Blake Gilikin during training camp last season giving the job to Australian punter Lou Hedley the starting spot. Hedley had a rough 2023 season ranking 33rd in yards per punt leading to questions about security as the team's lone punter.

Although going undrafted, Hayball had some draft hype and projections. He averaged 47.6 yards per punt in 2023 and the majority of his punt yards are through the air rather than after. Hayball’s biggest critique is the lack of hang time...
