New Orleans could potentially add to their running back room early.
New Orleans Saints running backs coach Joel Thomas was in attendance for Boise State’s pro day, per Luke Johnson.
Thomas was in attendance to spectate running back Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty had a monster year in 2024, rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns, finishing second in Heisman voting.
While no player is a bona fide star right out of college, Jeanty is as close as you can get. His mass production in college and game IQ set the potential top 10 pick in the same category as Atlanta Falcons...

Getting to know some potential draft candidates
The NFL Draft process involves getting to know prospects and determining whether they fit a team's needs. This is arguably more important than just seeing what the team needs or whether the player has potential/talent, and it is always crucial to know which teams meet with which prospects. The Saints have already held some meetings/dinners with groups of prospects, and last night, per Nick Underhill, the New Orleans Saints continued this by hosting a dinner for a group of Georgia prospects.
Doing their due diligence is always a good thing, and three Georgia...

Mickey Loomis and members of the coaching staff were in attendance.
It probably comes as no shock that there was a strong New Orleans Saints contingent at the LSU Tigers Pro Day with the NFL Draft quickly approaching. Notably Mickey Loomis was in attendance with other members of the front office but notably, per Jeff Nowak, brand new Saints run game coordinator T.J. Pagnetti was in the trenches with the Tigers.
Like any team in the Southeastern Conference, there’s a plethora of talent on the LSU Tigers but the fact that they had a coach hands-on with the O-Line can...

New Orleans is doing its due diligence on the projected second-round pick.
New Orleans Saints TE coach Chase Haslett recently met with Bowling Green Falcons star Harold Fannin Jr. on Sunday, according to NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda.
Fannin Jr. is considered one of the top tight ends in this year’s draft class and is highly regarded as an early-to-mid Day 2 pick. With the Saints holding picks 40, 71 and 93, they’ve started evaluating the versatile pass catcher.
The 6’3”, 241-pounder had a monstrous junior season for the Falcons in 2024, with his 95.9 overall grade (96.4...

New Orleans makes some space to make moves.
The New Orleans Saints' free agency has been filled with contract restructures, pay cuts, signings, bringing back players, and trades. Many expected a more active year than last offseason, but what the Saints did so far has exceeded expectations. As New Orleans always does, each contract they gave out had first years with low base salaries and void years attached. Currently, before the Dillon Radunz contract details come out, the Saints’ cap space is approximate $31 million, per Kat Terrell.
The Saints have filled many of their pressing needs since the beginning...

With links among the coaching staff, interest was expected.
The closer the NFL Draft gets, the more pro days conclude around the country. Teams pick and choose members of their coaching staff/front office to send to select pro days. It is always interesting to see how many or who gets sent to watch the prospects, and when a team sends a massive contingent of staff members, it is incredibly noteworthy. A couple of days ago, the New Orleans Saints did just this at Miami’s Pro Day but left after the events concluded. Their next destination was in Austin for Texas’...

New Orleans is in no position to move up from 9 to 1.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results, so with that being said...
In 1999, the New Orleans Saints' front office traded their first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh round picks in that draft as well as the first and third rounders in the 2000 NFL Draft to move up to five and select Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams out of Texas.
