NFL draft experts have been critical of the New Orleans Saints' 2025 rookie class, ranking them as low as bottom-five in the league.

New Orleans hired former Eagles OC Kellen Moore as the new head coach for 2025. The Saints have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and now have the youngest head coach in the league in the 36-year-old Moore.

The New Orleans Saints are on the clock at the 2025 NFL draft, and it's an important one. After a 5-12 finish last season and hiring Kellen Moore away from the Philadelphia Eagles as Dennis Allen's successor, the Saints opened the draft by picking offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. ninth overall and quarterback Tyler Shough 40th overall.
