Only rookie QB Tyler Shough stands in the way of the Saints completing an important offseason task after latest update
The New Orleans Saints did something they normally don't do during the 2025 NFL Draft. They sat back and were a bit less aggressive than general manager Mickey Loomis is known for throughout his career.

The New Orleans Saints did something they normally don't do during the 2025 NFL Draft. They sat back and were a bit less aggressive than general manager Mickey Loomis is known for throughout his career.
With that, they have a sizable draft class that they've needed to sign in recent days. That process continues this week. Check out their full draft class below.
Saints' draft class almost fully signed
- Round 1, Pick 9: OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
- Round 2, Pick 40: QB Tyler Shough, Louisville (unsigned)
- Round 3, Pick 71: DT Vernon Broughton II, Texas
- Round 3, Pick 93: S Jonas Sanker, Virginia
- Round 4, Pick 112: LB Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma
- Round 4, Pick 131: CB Quincy Riley, Louisville
- Round 6, Pick 184: RB Devin Neal, Kansas
- Round 7, Pick 248: TE Moliki Matavao, UCLA
- Round 7, Pick 254: EDGE Fadil Diggs, Syracuse
