Why
New Orleans needs to reinforce OT and DL; these are the two positions currently lacking a clear starter or reliable depth. Beyond that, S and LB also require competition to avoid future shortcomings.

Track record read
Loomis' Saints consistently prioritize trench play, investing heavily in the defensive and offensive lines in R1 and R2. They target high-caliber athletes at those positions, particularly interior defensive linemen and offensive tackles. While they occasionally draft small-school prospects with high upside (Penning, Turner), they also secure top-tier receivers like Olave, balancing BPA with positional need.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
2 names
Carter Smith
Indiana
OTResuelve la urgencia en LT, su pase tan técnico parchea a un equipo que no puede permitirse fallar en esa línea. Floor de Pro-Bowler inmediato.
Colin Simmons
Texas
DLResuelve la urgencia en el pass rush que el equipo perdió. Su bend es top, pero el floor dependerá de cómo aguante el ancla contra la carrera.
Second round
2 names
Damon Wilson II
Miami
DLSu explosividad añade un EDGE puro que el esquema necesita, destapando el pass rush para los demás. Techo altísimo si desarrolla el anclaje contra la carrera.
Jackson Bennee
Utah
SEs el arquitecto de campo profundo que los Saints necesitan. Su ball production es top, un click-and-close como pocos; techo de líder.
Third round
3 names
Anthonie Knapp
Notre Dame
OTParche inmediato en RT, sus brazos largos anclan el lado derecho. Si mejora el bull-rush, el techo de protector élite está ahí.
Clev Lubin
Louisville
DLLe da la profundidad atlética que tanto buscaban en el borde. El techo atlético está, ahora a pulir ese arsenal de pass-rush.
Bray Hubbard
Alabama
SResuelve la falta de un S cerebral que pueda organizar la secundaria. Su techo pasa por ser un ancla, no un FS que cubra todo el campo.
