The New Orleans Saints tank project the team seemed to be on came to a screeching halt on Sunday when the team unexpectedly snapped its seven-game losing streak with a 20-17 win over the visiting Atlanta Falcons. A not-insignificant number of Saints fans were looking to next year’s draft, so how did this impact the 2025 draft order?
Even though this appears to be a season too far lost barring something bizarre, there’s a new sense of optimism surrounding the Darren Rizzi era. Just how far it lasts remains to be seen, but there is no question that things seem to be looking up after the team parted ways with Dennis Allen.
So, what exactly does all of this mean for where the Saints could be picking in the 2025 NFL draft? Here’s a look at where New Orleans stands after the Week 10 victory and their full draft order projection from Tankathon:
- Round 1, No. 9 overall
- Round 2, No. 40 overall
- Round 3, No. 71 overall
- Round 3, No. 89 overall
- Round 4, No. 111 overall
- Round 4, No. 127 overall
- Round 6, No. 184 overall
- Round 7, No. 252 overall
The Saints will look to continue to stay on the right side of the win column when they face the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 17 at Noon CT/1 p.m. ET.
