Mason Graham NFL Draft photo
Michigan DT Mason Graham might possibly be the best defensive player in this draft, and he fills a big need for the perforated Saints defense line. In 2024, the team finished the year 31st against the run, 30th in yards allowed per game, and 28th in 3rd down efficiency. Graham could be the guy to turn the tide.

Heading into Super Bowl Sunday, the Saints remain the only team without a head coach. All eyes will be on Eagles OC Kellen Moore, who, so far, is the only candidate GM Mickey Loomis has invited back for a second interview. The question is: If the Saints hire an offensive guru to take the helm, will he prioritize the D-line? Or, will offense become the target in this year's draft?

SAINTS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
