NEW Saints Mock Draft That DOUBLE-DIPS On A HUGE Need!

New Orleans Saints news begins with the latest Saints 2026 NFL mock draft, and Saints quarterback Tyler Shough will surely like the Saints 1st round pick. Saints rumors have been filled with buzz that Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate could be wearing the black and gold in the 2026 NFL season, and this Saints mock draft sees that star wideout heading down to the Big Easy. Cornerback is another major 2026 NFL Draft need for the Saints after Alontae Taylor signed with the Tennessee Titans in 2026 NFL free agency, and this mock sees Indiana cornerback D’Angelo Ponds being added to Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley’s secondary. The Saints are on the clock in the NFL Draft on April 23 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Saints head coach Kellen Moore could bring home the next Saints legend.

  8. Not a fan of this one, at this point you don't need two WRs that early, Ponds too small, no heavy run stopping DT, RB isnt that big of a need unless AK not coming back after June 1, dont know much about Mason so will be looking into him .. C- or D+

  11. I’d rather Downs, Bailey, Reese, or even Bain..the WR class (yes, it’s a need) is SUPER DEEP in this class and there is still quality players available in Round 3 and even later on most mocks I’ve seen. In my opinion, the talent levels on the defensive side drop off (at different levels) after Rd 2..

  17. LB is a need, DE/DT is a huge need, I want future all pro players at each position in the draft even in the 6th round too. A kicker perhaps. Center is a big need bc of Erik McCoy injury history is concerning a lil bit.

  29. Most ridiculous mock draft I've ever done… trade with Giants for 5 and 37 in exchange for 8, 42, 73 and 150 to get Arvell Reese (edge) at 5 and Chris Bell (WR) at 37, then traded up with Lions to 50 in exchange for 132, 136, 172, 190 and 2027 2nd rounder and got Keith Abney (CB) then had a beer and called it a day.

  30. Draft is ass, your worried about olave injury history, but wanna pay him 34mill a year 😂😂🥴🤦🏾‍♂️, take a edge rusher at 8 bain or Bailey, if both gone trade back a few spots & get an extra 2nd rd pick, then draft Faulk or woods or Howell & with the two 2 rd picks you draft your WR (bell or brazell) & get banks or your star NB

  46. We don’t need replacement players we need foundational pieces. Ideally on the defense.. build a elite defensive squad and everything else will fall in line
