About this episode
The New Orleans Saints approach the 2026 NFL Draft with flexibility, targeting wide receiver and trench talent without being locked into a first-round need.
With prospects like Zachariah Branch, Skyler Bell, and Ted Hurst potentially catching the Saints’ eye, the team could land electrifying yards-after-catch threats, contested catch specialists, and/or versatile slot options to rejuvenate their pass-catching arsenal. The draft offers fits at numerous styles of wideout.
On both sides of the line, New Orleans weighs options beyond the early rounds, eyeing edge rushers like Rueben Bain Jr., David Bailey, Zion Young, and Malachi Lawrence, while reinforcing the interior offensive line with names such as Emmanuel Pregnon, Chase Bisontis, and Pat Coogan.
