Needs by priority
Why
The New Orleans Saints' current priorities begin at offensive tackle (OT) and pass rusher (EDGE). Quarterback (QB) and defensive line (DL) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Loomis' Saints consistently prioritize trench play, investing heavily in the defensive and offensive lines in R1 and R2. They target high-caliber athletes at those positions, particularly interior defensive linemen and offensive tackles. While they occasionally draft small-school prospects with high upside (Penning, Turner), they also secure top-tier receivers like Olave, balancing BPA with positional need.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
LSU
OTLocks down the blindside New Orleans desperately needs. Lethal initial punch; if his feet hold up against late counters, that's a franchise LT.
Miami
EDGEGives New Orleans that pure burst bending the edge. If the counters never develop, he caps out as a third-down specialist.
Oklahoma State
QBSolves their QB hole with pure timing and mature progressions. High floor from clean pockets; falls apart under real heat.
Second round
3 names
Notre Dame
OTQuick feet and elite technique to patch tackle right away. If the length doesn't stick outside, he plays ten years inside.
Notre Dame
EDGEGives New Orleans instant pop to set the edge on early downs; pure power rusher with limited bend at the top.
Baylor
QBBrings the elite arm and off-platform creation their QB room lacks. Tremendous ceiling, but the turnover tape is terrifying.
Third round
3 names
Auburn
OTLength and quick feet to ease their tackle woes. Zero run-game displacement and minimal tape, but the pass pro baseline is legit.
Ohio State
EDGEPure prototype for New Orleans' heavy DE mold. Violent long-arm for rotational snaps, but plays too high against the run.
Texas Tech
QBInjects mobility and ball security into a stagnant QB room. High-stakes gamble after a full year away from the field.
