  • Saints' Josiah Ezirim: Goes to the Big Easy in Round 7

    The Saints selected Ezirim in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 239th overall.

    Ezirim is still coming into his own as an offensive tackle. He began his career at Eastern Kentucky playing defensive line before flipping to the other side of the ball in 2022. He turned into a second-team All-American at the FCS level by the time he was done. Ezirim has tackle measurables at 6-foot-6, 329 pounds with 35-inch arms. If New Orleans can develop him, Ezirim could find footing in the league.

  • Saints' Khristian Boyd: Onward to the Crescent City

    The Saints selected Boyd in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 199th overall.

    Boyd comes to the Big Easy from Northern Iowa. He is the elder statesman of the Saints' draft class at 24 years old with a college career that started in 2018. He is stout at 6-foot-2 and 329 pounds and profiles as a space eater in the trenches.

  • Saints' Jaylan Ford: Big Easy bound

    The Saints selected Ford in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 175th overall.

    The former Texas Longhorn comes to the NFL with two 100-plus tackle seasons under his belt. Ford is not known as a top-tier athlete, but he's a tackling machine with a knack for playmaking, as he recorded six interceptions over his last two seasons in Austin. He played middle linebacker at Texas and profiles as a depth piece behind Demario Davis.

  • Saints' Bub Means: Heads to New Orleans

    The Saints selected Means in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 170th overall.

    Means took awhile to settle into a program during his collegiate career, but things came together in his final two seasons of eligibility with Pitt. He turned in 41 receptions for 721 yards and six touchdowns in his senior season, though that production came when he was 22 years old. Means is a lengthy receiver (86th percentile wingspan) with plenty of size (212 pounds), making him an interesting player in contested catch situations by the goal line. He also lands in a decent situation, as the Saints lack reliable pass catchers behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Slide ended by New Orleans

    The Saints selected Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 150th overall.

    Rattler entered college as an elite prospect with Oklahoma but was displaced as the starter after 15 games by Caleb Williams. Rattler finished out his collegiate career with South Carolina and rehabilitated his draft stock a bit in his final year by posting a 19:8 TD:INT with 3,186 passing yards. He's trended in the wrong direction since leaving high school and slipped even further than anticipated in the draft, though his landing spot should give him the chance to immediately claim the backup job behind Derek Carr.

  • Saints' Kool-Aid McKinstry: Big Easy bound

    The Saints selected McKinstry (foot) in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 41st overall.

    If not for a foot injury that was discovered at the NFL Combine and prevented him from testing, McKinstry might have gone much earlier. He's a well-built boundary corner at 6-foot, 199 pounds with 32-inch arms, and he started 33 games in three years at Alabama. He broke up an impressive 16 passes as a sophomore, and though he only had two career picks, his coverage ability and his willingness in run support both stand out. McKinstry should challenge for boundary reps as a rookie provided his foot is back to 100 percent by camp.

  • Saints' Taliese Fuaga: Goes to New Orleans 14th overall

    The Saints selected Fuaga in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 14th overall.

    The Saints have a desperate need at left tackle and Fuaga doesn't conventionally project as an option there, but be it at guard or right tackle Fuaga should provide immediate and considerable improvement to the Saints offensive line. At 6-foot-6, 324 pounds the former Oregon State star is built like a tank but accesses the second level as quickly as a tight end would. Fuaga clobbers what he gets his hands on and can run down those who attempt to evade him, but with just 33 and 1/8-inch arms he might be a tad better at guard than tackle.
