Well that’s something. Right now, the New Orleans Saints are scheduled to pick at the end of the Round 1 in the 2023 NFL draft — at No. 29 overall, to be exact. To take that a step further, the Saints would not submit their pick until about 10:22 p.m. CT on Thursday night. But if they get their way, fans might not have to wait so long to greet the newest member of the black and gold.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports that the Saints are one of a few teams who could trade up in the first round, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. Breer wrote: “I’d put the Saints in that category as well, with their history being that they identify guys and aren’t afraid to make moves up for them (last year, they went up for Chris Olave), even if costs them future capital.”
