The NFL finally shared its full order of selections in the 2021 NFL draft on Friday, and it brings great news for the New Orleans Saints. It’s possible the league reverses course, but the current list of draft picks in all seven rounds includes the selection New Orleans was previously reported to have forfeited due to COVID-19 protocol violations. The Las Vegas Raiders were similarly penalized with a lost late-round draft pick, but it was apparently returned to them.
This could be an oversight by the league office. But it’s worth noting that the Minnesota Vikings are listed as forfeiting a seventh round draft choice due to league discipline for salary cap compliance issues, so you would think the NFL would list every other forfeited pick if there were any.
