Also, we talk 2025 NFL schedule release. What should the young Saints hope for? What do we expect?

As the dust settles on the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints' roster is left with some obvious holes in several spots, particularly wide receiver, edge rusher and cornerback. Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras host the Saints Insiders today with a look at how the Saints could go about filling those holes with their remaining $27 million salary cap space, some of which can be used in the free agent market. Specifically, Luke and Matt discuss the possibility of players like: Keenan Allen, Tyler Boyd, Amari Cooper, Za'Darius Smith, Matthew Judon, Rasul Douglas, Asante Samuel Jr. and more. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #neworleanssaints #nfldraft #nfl #nflfreeagency

The New Orleans Saints have the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday night, so our Saints Insiders — beat writer Matthew Paras, columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker and editor Zach Ewing — underwent a fun exercise to examine the pool of players the Saints could be choosing from. Each of us separately picked nine players (excluding the apparent top 3 picks of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter).

If there's a skill-position player NFL teams are all coveting in the top 10 of the NFL Draft, it's Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. If he's still available as the Saints' pick at No. 9 approaches, should New Orleans trade up and get him? Is he a no-brainer if he happens to fall to No. 9? Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker and host Zach Ewing — go through the possibilities and also examine some other skill players whom the Saints might consider, like Penn State tight end Tyler Warren and Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. #saints #whodat #neworleanssaints #nfldraft #2025nfldraft #nfl #nfloffseason #ashtonjeanty
