Saints 1st pick 2024
I was looking up saints draft picks and it was showing we didn’t have our original 3-4 round picks. Is that true?
The Saints made a trade with the Bears to move up in the 2023 NFL draft.
The Saints sent their 2023 4th Round Pick (#115) and their 2023 5th Round Pick (#165) to the Bears in exchange for the Bears 2023 4th Round Pick (#103).
The Saints used the Bears 2023 4th Round Pick via Jax (#103) to pick OL Nick Saldiveri.
The Bears used the Saints 4th Round Pick (#115) to draft RB Roschon Johnson.
The Bears used the Saints 2023 5th Round Pick (#165) to draft DB Terel Smith.
Yep. The 3rd round pick went to Denver.
It was part of the SP trade. Denver received the rights to Head Coach Sean Payton.
The Saints received the Broncos 2023 1st Round Pick (#29) which they used to draft DT Bryan Bresee.
The Saints also swapped their 2024 3rd Round Pick (#81) for the Broncos 2024 2nd Round Pick (#45).
We should get a couple of compensatory picks so that will help a little.😁
This.
For the losses of Kaden Ellis, David Onyemata, and Marcus Davenport.

New Orleans could pick up another three picks via the league's compensatory process from free agents Kaden Elliss, David Onyemata and Marcus Davenport. Obviously, they could also gain extra from trading any of their players, but that remains to be seen. The NFL Draft is in Detroit this year and will happen April 25-27.
