New Orleans Saints Draft Thread - 7 new Saints, 1 trade, time to sign UDFAs
Posted on 4/25/24 at 1:00 am

The next crop of New Orleans Saints get called starting tonight as the NFL Draft begins... this season in Detroit.
Saints 2024 Draft Picks:
Round 1 - Pick 14 - 14 Overall | Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon St.
Round 2 - Pick 9 - 41 Overall | Ga'Quincy "Kool-Aid" McKinstry, CB, Alabama Trade 1
Round 5 - Pick 15 - 150 Overall | Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Round 5 - Pick 35 - 170 Overall | Jerrod "Bub" Means, WR, Pittsburgh
Round 5 - Pick 40 - 175 Overall | Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas
Round 6 - Pick 23 - 199 Overall | Khristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa
Round 7 - Pick 19 - 239 Overall | Josiah Ezirim, OT, Eastern Kentucky
Saints In-Draft Trades:
Trade 1 - Round 2 w/ Green Bay Packers:
Saints Receive:
Round 2 - Pick 9 - 41 Overall (selected "Kool-Aid" McKinstry)
Packers Receive:
Round 2 - Pick 13 - 45 Overall (selected Edgerrin Cooper)
Round 5 - Pick 33 - 168 Overall (traded to the Buffalo Bills)
Round 6 - Pick 14 - 190 Overall (traded to the Philadelphia Eagles)
The Missing Draft Picks:
Round 2 - The Saints should be picking #50 overall, but that pick belongs to the Eagles to start the draft due to a massive draft week trade in 2022 that saw the Eagles send the Saints the #16 & #19 overall picks (as well as a 2022 6th round pick which was taken away by the NFL for COVID guideline violations)
The Saints used the 16th pick as part of another trade... this one with the Redskins/Football Team/Commanders to move up to 11th overall and draft Chris Olave
The Saints used the 19th pick to draft Trevor Penning
Round 3 - The Saints should be picking #81 overall, but that pick belongs to the Seattle Seahawks to start the draft. That pick went from the Saints to the Denver Broncos in the Sean Payton trade, but the Broncos sent it to Seattle to get a 3rd round pick last year which netted Denver CB Riley Moss
Round 4 - The Saints should be picking #116 overall, but that pick belongs to the Jacksonville Jaguars to start the draft as it was used as part of a package to move up and draft Jake Haener
Round 7 - The Saints should be picking #238 overall, but that pick belongs to the Houston Texans to start the draft as it was used to trade for Mark Ingram straight up
Saints 2024 Draft Picks:

I definitely feel like the Saints should not reach if there are a run of tackles drafted before we pick at 14. I want to get the best tackle on the board, but I’m not against trading back and netting some more picks in the process. As others have said, I’m not exactly keen on the idea on the Saints trading UP for an O-lineman.
Some have flirted with the idea of the Saints drafting Bowers if he is there at #14, but I doubt they would take him, even though he could immediately provide a boost for the offense. They have to address the offensive line if they’re going to have a chance next season.

Hot take: Saints trade back into the bottom of the first for either a second offensive lineman or the top remaining defensive lineman on their board.

I think we should trade down to 25 or so and Draft Bo Nix, run him out behind the current O Line, go 0-17, get the 1st pick in 2025 and Draft Shedeur Sanders.

We’re taking Jalyx Hunt from Houston Christian. You heard it hear first.

Great post... I really like the explanations of the picks... what we have and what we traded away... If the Saints do any trading up in the first I think it would be stupid.. Look at this years draft we only had 3 picks that originated with the Saints... That's reckless spending...

Nicely done RT
Well for about the 13th time in a row I am picking trading down in the first. If the top 3-4 picks are oline and dline I'll be happy.

I have a request. Can we not spoil the picks in this thread? I'll be following a number of NFL reporters on X/twitter and don't want to come here and see it before they announce it on TV.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I personally hope Bowers is there and someone drops a deal that can't be passed up.
Posted on 4/25/24 at 7:34 pm to rt3
3 picks in and 3 QBs.
Hopefully JJ McCarthy goes before our pick too. Push those other players down.

Dang Bowers might be there for the Saints to pass on. That stinks. I would love to draft him, but all the talk is Saints have to take OL.

I could live with Dallas turner
Posted on 4/25/24 at 8:38 pm to rt3
Oline or dline please
Posted on 4/25/24 at 8:38 pm to rt3
Trade back PLEASE!!!
We got all the leverage here.

ESPN: Saints are up! Time for a commercial break!

Love the pick. He will be a bookend. One of the league guys called him a nimble bully, I love it!
Posted on 4/26/24 at 6:43 pm to rt3
Is Jordan Travis expected to be around in the 5th round? I'd use one of those picks on him if so
Posted on 4/26/24 at 10:07 pm to rt3
Saints should have traded down and taken 3 OL first. It’s like they don’t even want to participate in the draft. They’re so poorly run. I could draft better than they can.

Who is the woman that is making 80% of the announcements?
