The Saints have a startling haul in the most recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
The 2024 season for the New Orleans Saints is virtually gone with three games left. The Saints will not have a postseason as they prepare to play the Packers, Raiders, and Bucs here in the final home stretch. Rather, New Orleans will attempt to salvage something from the last three games in the hopes of entering the offseason with a strong foundation.
At the moment, the Saints hold the no. 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. What should their strategy be?
To be frank, the strategy should be to try and make the best pick or move possible with where they’re at. While it might be a risk to move back considerably from pick no. 10, that’s exactly what the Saints do here in our latest mock.
Why? Well, it’s difficult to pass up an offer like the Saints are about to receive.

To kick off the mock, Kansas City makes an offer the Saints can’t refuse.

New Orleans comes away with a dream type of haul while moving back to the last pick in the first round. From there, they go to work.
Landon Jackson
After the trade with Kansas City, the Saints take the best player on the board with the final selection of Round 1. Arkansas standout pass rusher Landon Jackson comes in and helps shore up a major need for New Orleans.
Jackson is a monstrous 6-foot-7, 280 pounds with groom to grow, still. He plays with a nonstop motor and wins with a variety of moves. While he’s not the fastest at his position, Jackson’s strength and length allow him to be a force against the run and as a pass rusher. Over the last two seasons, Jackson has posted 13.0 sacks and 24 tackles for loss.
Quinn Ewers
Is this a long-term solution? Maybe. Is Quinn Ewers well-worth the gamble? Absolutely. Right now, there is a significant question mark at quarterback. Derek Carr won’t last much longer and hasn’t worked out the way New Orleans originally planned.
Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener may not offer much of a long-term future as the team’s could-be starter, and Ewers at least comes in with the college pedigree. He’s got the big arm you like to see, but needs to work on the little things such as his footwork and post-snap processing.
More Saints news:
He’d be one to benefit from sitting a year and learning behind someone like Carr, and hopefully the Saints get the right staff in place to develop him.
