Draft Reaction · New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints just picked their future. Here's the verdict.

That's not what New Orleans expected, cher

Where y'at, everybody? Whew, lemme tell you, this draft was somethin' else for the New Orleans Saints. I was down at Cooter Brown's, watchin' with everyone, and when those picks started comin' in, you could feel the whole place just… hold its breath. We signed a whole bunch of rookies, yeah, like Jordan Tyson and Bryce Lance at receiver, and Oscar Delp for tight end, plus a few more. But the *draft picks*? The big ones? It felt like we were all shoutin' at the TV, beggin' for a certain kinda help, and then somethin' else entirely happened. New Orleans needed some muscle up front, a real game-changer on that offensive line, and maybe some fresh blood to rush the passer. We're still lookin' at Derek Carr and hopin' for the best, but you gotta protect him, nah?

I’m tellin’ you, the mood in New Orleans is… complicated. Nobody's exactly dancin' down Bourbon Street over these picks. We’re grateful for any talent, especially with the 6-11 season we just had. We know the New Orleans Saints need to rebuild and get back to bein' contenders. But a lot of folks were hopin' to see a different strategy, somethin' that felt more immediate, more impactful for what we need *right now*. When you're sittin' there, sippin' a Dixie beer, hopin' for a lineman who can push folks around like a float on Mardi Gras day, and you get somethin' different... it's a head-scratcher.

The grade? Confused. We'll see how these young men pan out, *oui*. But for now, New Orleans is just tryin' to make sense of it all.

Who dat, cher — from the Tremé to the Dome, we never stop believing.

Y'all gotta hear what the morning crew's sayin' 'bout this — catch 'em live at mornings.live.
