Saints NFL Draft Profile: Marshall pass rusher Mike Green
By Bob Rose - Athlon Sports
The New Orleans Saints are expected to switch to a 3-4 base system under new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. No matter what scheme they run, the Saints need to generate more QB pressure and sacks this season.
Over the last two years, the Saints have recorded a respectable 160 QB hits but a disappointing 73 sacks. Only 30 of those sacks have come from their defensive ends/edge rushers, including just 16 combined sacks from the position last year.
With DE Cameron Jordan winding down his career, the Saints simply don't have a pass rusher that strikes fear into opposing quarterbacks and coaches. Chase Young and Carl Granderson are both expected to be stand-up rushers in Staley's system. While both are solid players, each have proven that they aren't the disruptive finishers that Jordan has been through most of his career.

Yaccarino’s Final 2025 Saints Mock Draft
The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here, and with the New Orleans Saints entering a new era of football, this draft will be pivotal for the team’s future. Also, with the draft almost upon us, it is the perfect time to do my final 2025 mock draft.
The Saints have done extensive homework on the quarterback prospects in this year’s draft, and at this point, it is less of a question of whether they will select a QB than when they will select one. This could easily happen on Days 2 and 3 of the draft, but there is a scenario where it could happen at pick 9.

Saints position group season review: Linebackers
It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints defense struggled last year. They ranked 27th against the pass and 31st against the run while being one of just three teams to allow more than 6,400 yards in 2024. The Saints linebackers are perhaps their most top-heavy position group, as starters Demario Davis and Pete Werner are both Pro Bowl level players, but the roster behind them leaves a lot to be desired.
Pete Werner is starting to develop into a solid player, but a lack of depth means that the defense is very limited if he or Demario Davis are not in the lineup. The Saints allowed 32...

Louisville CB Quincy Riley visits with the Saints
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, cornerback Quincy Riley, out of Louisville, visited the New Orleans Saints last week. Riley is the #10 cornerback on ESPN’s rankings.
Riley attended Louisville from 2022-2024. Previously, from 2019-2021, he attended Middle Tennessee.
Last season, he played in 10 games. In that span, Riley was targeted 65 times, allowing 31 receptions for 446 yards and three touchdowns.
