Saints get plenty of weapons this time around

Round 1, Pick 14: Brock Bowers - TE / Georgia

Bowers was one of the most dominant forces in college football the last three seasons. Bowers is a three-time All-American and the only two-time winner of the John Mackey Award for college football’s best TE. He would be an instant starter and an instant contributor and the best TE the New Orleans Saints have had since Jimmy Graham. Despite need on the...

So... hear me out...

The NFL Draft is just one week away and we’re getting closer and closer to talking about who the New Orleans Saints will actually draft instead of speculation.

Possible players the Saints could trade on draft night

Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Images

Let’s look at some hypothetical trades that could be made.

Not having a third or fourth round pick increases the odds of the New Orleans Saints trading up in this year’s NFL Draft. The Saints do not like to sit and wait till a player drops to them, and this year should not be any different. They could use their copious amounts of day three picks to trade up, but there is another way to acquire earlier picks. On draft night, we have seen some...

With seven picks in the 5th round or later the Saints will hope to replicate past success

In this week's poll question we asked, other than the obvious answer of wide receiver Marques Colston, who is the greatest player the New Orleans Saints have drafted in the 5th round or later. Colston of course would be the runaway favorite, as the fourth-to-last pick in the 2006 draft would go on to become the greatest receiver in Saints history. So, to make...
