The New Orleans Saints opened Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Oregon State OT Taliese Fuaga with the 14th overall choice. In Round 2, the Saints traded up to grab Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry with the 41st overall selection. Now entering Day 3, New Orleans currently has no picks in the sixth round, three choices in the fifth, one in the sixth, and one in the seventh.
Here are some of the players to watch on the offensive side of the ball as we roll into the final day of the NFL Draft.This isn't a need for the Saints. They have a talented backfield trio of Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and Jamaal Williams. However, New Orleans has had terrific luck with overlooked running backs before. It wouldn't be surprising at all if the Saints grabbed another back, either with a late pick or as an undrafted signing.
Franklin and Walker are vertical threats that were expected to be Day 2 picks. Jackson and Thrash are smaller slot specialists with big-play ability. Johnson, Wilson, and Rice are bigger wideouts that could be possession targets. Coker and Cephus are potential small-school gems that the Saints are famous for developing into productive players.New Orleans has put little emphasis on the tight end spot in recent years. However, that could change under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
