In our most recent poll question we asked what grade would you give the New Orleans Saints 2025 draft?

After 236 votes, the grade of B won with 54.7% of the vote. This is generally the feeling around the league regarding the Saints draft as they had some very good picks but also some that were highly questionable. Many thought they would go for Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders at #9 overall, but instead they opted for Texas OT Kelvin Banks, Jr. in a move to sure up the offensive line. When the Saints were strongest...

Now that the NFL Draft is over and rookie minicamp is about to start, we have a tentative list of the New Orleans Saints 2025 roster. While they addressed several needs in the draft, one position that went unselected was at wide receiver. The Saints did however sign a few UDFA wide receivers, but there are also several free agents still available on the market. One who has been mentioned a lot lately in the same conversation with the Saints is former Charger and Bears WR Keenan Allen.

Let’s take a look at how much New Orleans rookies are making.

The New Orleans Saints assembled one of their biggest draft classes in recent memory. Mickey Loomis is a big proponent of trading up, but instead, he stayed put and the Saints used all nine selections they came into the draft with.

With more draft picks means more money spent. According to Spotrac, the Saints will be spending $14,129,202 on their rookie this year and about 72 million over the next four. That’s much more than they’re accustomed to paying out, but when you’re rebuilding, you need a lot...

Let’s see how teams are looking after the draft

Carolina Panthers

Entering the draft, many believed that the Panthers would go with a defensive lineman at pick eight, and it makes sense why. Carolina’s edge rush group has been bad, and after making massive investments on offense the year before, the defense needed to improve. Trading back was also on the table, which could have messed up the New Orleans Saints’ first-round selection at nine. Instead of those directions, Carolina ended up sticking at eight and selecting Tetairoa McMillan. This was an interesting decision by the Panthers, but their...

Meet Marcus Yarns, the next UDFA star-CSC

The Black and Gold have multiple instances of finding diamonds in the rough with undrafted free agents. Here may just be the next one.

Did New Orleans do it again?

The strength of the 2025 NFL Draft class was the talent at running back. It had top talent with Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton, selections throughout day 2, and late-round gems like Devin Neal. Every team in the NFL could have selected a running back prospect this year, but some still went undrafted, and the Saints got the best one available, Marcus Yarns.

At Delaware, Yarns was a three-year starter, contributing heavily to rushing and receiving games. In 2022, Yarns had a decent year with 481 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards, and 5 total...

How did the Saints do in Green Bay? Let's break it down.

Now that the dust has settled on the 2025 NFL Draft and rookie minicamps get underway throughout the NFL next week, it's time to really look at the draft class for the New Orleans Saints as a whole.

Personally, I think draft grades are silly so soon after the draft and before the players take the field, but I do have thoughts on the decisions that the Saints made and how they did so.

What to know about the Saints new punter out of Alabama.

On April 27, the New Orleans Saints announced the signing of eleven undrafted free agents. Alabama punter James Burnip was among them.

Burnip was born in Mount Macedon, AU, and grew up playing Australian rules football. Learning to punt by training with ProKick Australia, he committed to Alabama in 2021 after initially committing to Ole Miss.

He ranks second all-time in school history (behind JK Scott) in yards per punt with 43.9, according to Alabama’s website. During his four years at Tuscaloosa, Burnip punted 203 times for 8,904 yards,...
