PALM BEACH, Fla. – Every draft cycle brings along with it discourse about position value. Some believe that certain positions are not worthy of being selected in first rounds, others believe that draft evaluations should be all about the player, not necessarily the position. To manage this, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has a unique way of looking at the criteria for what does and doesn’t make a player selectable early in a draft.

We asked Moore about his thoughts on positional value and what approach he takes while he met with New Orleans media at this year’s annual meetings in Palm Beach, Fla.

“I think it’s really on guys who impact the game,” he said. “I think skill position guys, I think sometimes we get stuck with ‘running back, fullback, receiver,’ maybe a slot-only or outsider. Maybe only a tight end. The skill position group, I kind of sometimes lump together. You just want impact players.”

From Moore’s description, it sounds like he would rather look at players based on their potential for impact overall, rather than their potential for impact at a specific position. A tight end that can have a major impact on the game, assuming this model, would carry greater value than a wide receiver of even slightly lesser impact, regardless of draft slot. ...

Saints HC Kellen Moore stresses the importance of naming a backup QB

Under former New Orleans Saints HC and current Chicago Bears DC Dennis Allen, it was rare we’d know who the QB2 behind Derek Carr would be until game day. Amidst Carr’s absence in 2024, there was even uncertainty over the starter between Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener for a stretch of the season, with decisions often being made after the last practice of the week—something that didn’t sit well with the fan base. However, new head coach Kellen Moore intends to redefine the backup quarterback role in New Orleans.

During the NFL’s annual head coach meetings, Moore was asked whether he plans...

On Tuesday, the NFL announced it will adopt Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology to electronically measure all first downs throughout the 2025 season, keeping the traditional chain gang on the sidelines as a backup.

After years of rumblings about this change, the league tested the system during the 2024 preseason and ran it behind the scenes during regular season games, ultimately opting to make it the primary method of measurement. The optical tracking technology is expected to provide a more accurate and modern way to determine the line to gain.

Currently, the New Orleans Saints have a major question mark over their quarterback's future. With Derek Carr's situation heading into a breakup next offseason and not really any answer behind the veteran quarterback, the Saints need to consider their options in the draft. This could happen at any point in the draft, but all that matters is New Orleans bringing in a rookie quarterback this offseason. One of these potential prospects is Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. His draft stock has skyrocketed throughout the offseason, and some believe it can be like Bo Nix last year. The Saints...

Today, many new rules are either being denied or pushed through to be implemented for next season. This is all happening at the annual NFL Owner’s Meeting. Most of the focus has been on the potential “Tush Push” ban being voted on this week. Still, there are many other rules that will change how games are playing in 2025 and potentially beyond. One of these rules, which we have already seen done in the playoffs, has been accepted. For at least next season, overtime in the regular season will now allow both teams to have at least one possession to score, per Adam Schefter.

This rule was...

The NFL has updated its uniform policy to allow teams to wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times in a single season, per Jordan Schultz. This means the New Orleans Saints can pull out a different look for four of their 17 games this season if they choose to do so.

If you’re a fan of the NFL, you should be a fan of this rule change. The NFL (also sometimes known as the No Fun League) is typically pretty strict on what players and teams can and can’t do with their uniforms. This move, though, allows teams to have more freedom with their uniforms and wear alternates more often...
