Last Word on Sports

Just about every Saints mock draft has the team selecting an offensive tackle with their first-round pick. This makes sense, as Trevor Penning looks like a bust and Ryan Ramczyk may or may not be able to suit up in 2024. However, that’s only one pick. A successful draft involves finding talented players throughout all three days of the event. New Orleans currently has nine pick in the upcoming draft, and they’ll need to make the most of them if they want to win the NFC South for the first time in the post-Drew Brees Era. Note that this exercise was performed using the Pro Football Network Mock Draft Simulator. If the player was on the board when the Saints were on the clock, they were fair game. Also note that this Saints mock draft does not include trades.
