JUST IN: New Orleans Saints have made two key changes.
The New Orleans Saints had to restructure a lot of contracts in recent months to open up the cap space for free-agent signings. Therefore, it’s understandable they didn’t make many splashes with the biggest names — they’ve taken an “effective over exciting” approach. As the team tries to inject more youth into its ranks, it’ll turn to the NFL Draft for assistance in some key areas.
The Saints have too many holes in their depth chart to climb out of football purgatory — as many are labeling it — in one offseason. New Orleans’ front office has made a plethora of difficult decisions in recent months and more lie ahead with the NFL Draft on the horizon. Which position do oddsmakers see the Saints taking with their first-round pick?
Oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook mapped out the most likely moves that New Orleans will make with its first-round selection. The Saints sit at No. 14 overall on opening night, which is Thursday, April 25. Oddsmakers expect Mickey Loomis and Co. to take a similar approach in the draft as they did with free agency: smart, not sexy.
