Edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr.’s draft status has sparked intense speculation, but the New Orleans Saints aren't short on options. With Arvell Reese, David Bailey, Zion Young, and Anthony Lucas in the mix, the Saints could make a bold move up the board, stand pat at pick eight or find an edge rusher in later rounds. However, Bain's stock doesn't seem to be massively impacted, keeping him as a possibility for New Orleans.

Kellen Moore’s leadership has reshaped New Orleans, rallying the roster through adversity and positioning the Saints as legitimate contenders in the NFC South while Tyler Shough is primed for a breakout second year, As continuity and confidence take center stage, the Saints’ additions of Ryan Wright and continued development from Charlie Smyth could tip close matchups.
