The New Orleans Saints entered the 2025 NFL Draft with extreme roster needs. With nine selections, the Saints had enough opportunities to select prospects that met their needs or even go with the best player available to upgrade the roster.

Now that the draft is complete, it is time to grade these selections!

With their first selection in the NFL Draft, the Saints went with Kelvin Banks Jr. from Texas. On draft night, this pick may have been a bit underwhelming, but now that the class is complete, this was a home run selection. RT Trevor Penning is not getting his fifth-year option...

While the New Orleans Saints draft is officially complete, some roster holes still remain. Due to the team's state going into the NFL Draft, an outcome like this was expected, so the Saints were expected to target some of those positions they could not address by going into free agency. The Saints have already started this process by signing DE/OLB Chris Rumph II.

New Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley actually drafted Rumph in his first draft as Chargers head coach, so there is a direct connection is there. With the Chargers, Rumph contributed as an outside linebacker on their...

With the New Orleans Saints selecting all nine of their picks in the NFL Draft and attacking the UDFA market immediately, the roster is almost at the maximum number of players. Roster cuts are expected over the next few weeks and yesterday, the first occurred. The Saints have released veteran QB Ben DiNucci, an announce he made via social media.

By drafting QB Tyler Shough in the second round, the Saints had a bit of a crowded QB room. Going into the season, with 53-man roster cuts looming, the Saints will need to reduce their QB roster to three players. Derek Carr will not count towards...

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...
