Anyway: here are all of the 2021 draft picks the Saints are scheduled to make after the Alexander trade, as well as their draft-day maneuvering in 2020 and with projected compensatory selections:
Round 1 (own)
Round 2 (own)
Round 3 (compensatory for losing Teddy Bridgewater)
Round 4 (own)
Round 5 (conditional, could revert to 2022)
Round 6 (compensatory for losing A.J. Klein)
Round 7 (own)
To recap on a few of the picks traded earlier this year, the Saints swapped out their own third- and sixth-rounders in 2021 so they could move up the board in the 2020 draft. The rookies acquired in those moves were linebacker Zack Baun and quarterback-turned-tight end Tommy Stevens.
Additionally, the compensatory picks projected to New Orleans after Bridgewater and Klein signed with new teams in free agency are just that: projections. We won’t know for certain whether the NFL is awarding those selections until they are announced in the spring, so don’t get too attached to the idea of the Saints owning a selection in each round for once.: here are all of the 2021 draft picks the Saints are scheduled to make after the Alexander trade, as well as their draft-day maneuvering in 2020 and with projected compensatory selections:

This was from 3 November on Saints wire from USA Today.
Since that Nov 3 article it has come out that Kwon has played enough for the Saints that kicked in the clause where SF gets the 2021 5th round pick so that is gone. Also the league took away the 7th round pick for covid violations. As far as the 6th round comp for Klein have have heard some say the Saints will get it while others say no. Overthecap.com doesn't show the Saints getting a 6th. The good news is that it looks like the Saints will get another 3rd this year and one next year if the report that Atlanta is going to hire Fontenot away to be their GM.
