NFL.com's draft analyst Chad Reuter wrote the final snap grades for all 32 team's draft classes. Reuter credited the Saints for filling their needs for a tackle and quarterback in the first two rounds and approved of the team's Day 3 selections, giving them a B- for rounds 4-7.

The Saints finished 5-12 last season, their worst year since going 3-13 in 2005. New Orleans hired former Eagles OC Kellen Moore as the new head coach for 2025. The Saints have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and now have the youngest head coach in the league in the 36-year-old Moore.
