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.



The 5-foot-11, 213-pound running back is versatile enough to run both inside and out and has the scheme flexibility necessary to thrive in Saints’ head coach Kellen Moore’s balanced offense. He also has proven to be a capable receiver out of the backfield. ...

With pick No. 254 in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints addressed their need for a speedy edge rusher by selecting DE Fadil Diggs out of Syracuse.

Standing 6-foot-4 and 201 pounds, Diggs impressed at the NFL Combine with a 4.57-second 40-yard dash, 1.60-second 10-yard split, 30.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump. He posted a 9.36 Relative Athletic Score out of a possible 10.00, ranking 131st among 2,029 defensive ends from 1987 to 2025.

In 2024, Stutsman gathered 110 total tackles, according to PFF. Since 2022, he has been first in tackles for loss with 34. Stutsman is also the first Oklahoma player since Travis Lewis to have...

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...

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.

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'...
