Drafting a running back in the sixth round of the NFL draft isn’t going to demand national attention. However, in a draft class of running backs as talented as this year‘s crop, many backs taken in the later rounds this year would have likely gone much earlier in previous drafts.

The New Orleans Saints may have selected one of those players on day three by taking Kansas running back Devin Neal with the No. 184 overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft.

It was a strong belief that the Saints needed to leave this year’s selection process with another running back. Star and starting running back Alvin Kamara had a career-high in rushing yards last year, but lacked consistent presence to complement his contributions. Neal has the opportunity to bring just that.

PFSN grades the 2025 Saints draft class

The New Orleans Saints’ 2025 NFL Draft felt more about raising the team's floor, not the ceiling. This is the first step of a rebuild, and the Saints accomplished that this year. Due to this, draft grades may be a bit all over the place this year, especially when New Orleans went with a controversial selection, QB Tyler Shough. Still, it is always fun to see some grades the Saints got and use them in the future as a reference for the draft class, and today, it is time to look at PFSN’s 2025 Saints draft grades.

The New Orleans Saints stayed disciplined in round one of the 2025 NFL Draft and selected tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. from Texas. While not an exciting pick, the 6-foot-5 tackle will immediately make an impact as a starter.

The Saints drafted tackle Taliese Fuaga with their first-round pick in 2024 and double-dipped on the offensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft to anchor their trenches. If Banks starts, New Orleans will have four first rounder and one second rounder on their starting offensive line.

While the orientation of the Saints' offensive line hasn't been decided/revealed yet, Banks'...

The New Orleans Saints entered the draft with a whole lot of needs and a healthy number of picks. We thought there was a good chance Mickey Loomis would move up and waste some of those picks, but even he recognized they had more needs than in years past and stayed put for every one of his nine selections. Overall, it wasn’t a super exciting draft class, but it was a good and very necessary one.

Here are my grades for each pick:

I came into this draft wanting one of two things to happen: draft Ashton Jeanty or grab one of the top offensive tackles. They were able to accomplish that...

Friday night was night two of the 2025 NFL Draft. In the third round, the New Orleans Saints selected Jonas Sanker, a safety out of Virginia.

Here are some things to know about the new kid in town.

In 2020, Jonas Sanker's father, George, received an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This has led Sanker to become a rock for his family.
