Who is going to replace Alontae Taylor for the New Orleans Saints?
That is one of the Saints’ three biggest remaining questions of the offseason. The Saints have a hole at cornerback where Taylor was, a hole in the pass rush with Cameron Jordan out there in free agency and also a significant need in the wide receiver room behind Chris Olave.
The No. 8 pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft will give the Saints a chance to fill at least one of these roster holes. New Orleans will have the rest of the draft beyond the No. 8 pick to try to plug the roster holes as well. There are also plenty of free agents out there for the taking and potential trade candidates. Also, for the Saints, there are internal candidates to consider to try to replace Taylor. For example, ESPN’s Katherine Terrell mentioned safety Julian Blackmon as someone to watch out for.
