By Ross Jackson - LouisianaSports.net ​


It will be an unpopular opinion in any NFL locker room, but sometimes improvement has less to do with wins and losses and more to do with revitalizing some of the intangible elements of a franchise.

For the New Orleans Saints in 2025, this rings true as new head coach Kellen Moore takes the reins after some disappointing years for the organization. After four consecutive years without making the postseason it could be easy to think that the only successful result for Moore’s first year would be a playoff appearance.

For me, improvement in 2025 is all about building a positive trajectory for New Orleans.

Here are three elements that the Saints can make strides in this year that could result in a positive outlook moving forward without necessarily being concerned with the final win-loss record.

Managing Adversity

The Saints have struggled in recent years when things don’t go perfectly. Adversity in games and throughout the season have caused them to stall out despite any momentum they create. After a lightning fast two-game start last year, the Saints ran into a Philadelphia Eagles-shaped brick wall. ...

A lot of talk lately about Jaxson Dart but I wanted to get a feel for the boards opinion on Jalen Milroe from Alabama in terms of being picked at say 40(ADP on nfldraftbuzz is around 47) so he’d be right in that range. He could possibly drop to 71 but that might be a bit risky.The more I read...

Mel Kiper, NFL draft analyst for ESPN, dropped his latest mock draft Tuesday morning. In a two-round projection, he has the New Orleans Saints selecting a quarterback in the first round and a cornerback in the second.

Shedeur Sanders is Kiper’s top-ranked quarterback of the 2025 draft. He believes that if Sanders falls to the ninth pick, the Saints and the former Colorado Buffalo will make a good match.

The first thing Kiper mentions is his completion percentage, which was 74% last season, according to ESPN. Additionally, in 2024 he had 4,134 passing yards with 37 touchdowns and 10...

The 2025 NFL Draft is just weeks away in Green Bay.

The New Orleans Saints, looking to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, will need to have a strong draft class in order to help make that happen for new head coach Kellen Moore.

Here is my mock draft that I think could be a slam dunk for the Black and Gold:

The 2024 Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year is coming off of a 12-sack season while leading his team into the College Football Playoff. He had a really strong showing in the Scouting Combine and will definitely fill a major need for New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints need to inject some life into their backfield alongside 29-year-old Alvin Kamara, and with the 2025 NFL Draft class loaded at the running back position, this seems like the perfect time to add a game-changer to the mix—someone who can replicate the one-two punch that’s worked so well for New Orleans in the past. If they can land a future starter—which I don’t anticipate being difficult given the depth of this incoming group—they may even find Kamara’s eventual successor, though AK still looks to have plenty of gas left in the tank. That said, could another Tennessee...

NEW ORLEANS — With the 2025 NFL Draft just weeks away, the New Orleans Saints are the betting favorite to land Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

The Saints currently hold the ninth pick in the first round.

Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, is expected to be the second quarterback taken in the draft after Miami quarterback Cam Ward.

Last week, Saints wide receivers coach Keith Williams and quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien attended the Colorado Buffaloes pro day.

Both Fanduel and DraftKings have the Saints as the favorite to pick Sanders...

Cam Skattebo, a running back from Arizona State, is one of the top prospects at his position in the draft this year. If the New Orleans Saints don’t land Jeanty in round one, they should consider taking a swing at him.

Skattebo, a native of Rio Linda, California, has been with the Sun Devils for the past two seasons. In 2024, he rushed for 1,711 yards, breaking the school's single-season record. Additionally, he broke their record for most rushing touchdowns in a single season, with 21.

Furthermore, in 2024, he was a first-team All-American, first-team All-Big 12, and the Peach Bowl...

The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and the New Orleans Saints hold the No. 9 pick in the draft.
