How I see the draft unfolding for the Saints

Many won’t agree, and that’s OK. And I am all but certain Loomis will trade up into the 4th round. The team has a history of drafting for quality and not quantity. We end up with 6 picks in my projection.

Here’s my draft board for our picks.

I’m assuming we trade Picks 170,190 and 199 to move up in the 4th round.

#14 OT Fautanu or Fashanu
#45 WR Wilson or Pearsall
#120 DT Sweat or Wingo
#168 RB Sherdin or Shipley
#170 Trade for #120
#175 ?
#190 Trade for #120
#199 Trade for #120
#239 ?

Loomis will trade with his buddy in Philly for the #120 pick.

Both the RB’s are made for outside zone, which will be the new way in NOLA.

I don’t know about Fautanu. They like his versatility but there are some medical stuff that might make picking him at #14 difficult. If he’s the highest rated OT at #14 it means Bowers has likely slipped. He’s the cleanest eval in the entire draft, I think he’d be the pick. The only hesitation is that they are a bit backed into a corner with the OL.
