Saints 2025 NFL Draft selections

By Ross Jackson

The NFL has released its compensatory picks for the 2025 NFL Draft, thus solidifying the most updated draft picks for each team. Things will shift and change as trades and deals are made across the league. But for now, the order is set.

The New Orleans Saints were expected to land nine draft picks, but ended up with eight instead, with no compensatory selections earned. New Orleans was originally in line for a seventh-round compensatory selection with the departure of cornerback Isaac Yiadom, however, the team’s signing of wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. negated it. With that, here are the Saints’ updated 2025 NFL Draft selections.

• Round 1, Pick 9
• Round 2, Pick 40
• Round 3, Pick 71
• Round 3, Pick 93 via WAS
• Round 4, Pick 112 
• Round 4, 131 via WAS
• Round 6, Pick 184
• Round 7, Pick 248 via PHI/WAS

That saddles the Saints with four selections in the top-100 and and six in the top-150. That gives New Orleans some prime draft capital to work with this offseason. So far, throughout free agency, moves have centered around the defensive side of the ball, so an offensively-heavy draft could be on the way.

This will be an important draft class for the Saints who have a chance to inject some youth into the roster and equip their new coaching staff with hand-picked, foundational talent.
