The NFL Draft is typically one of the best times for teams in the offseason. However, due to trades, other trades, and punishments, the New Orleans Saints only had three picks — a first, a second, and a fourth-round pick.
Now, as a result of losing free agents Teddy Bridgewater, A.J. Klein, and Vonn Bell in free agency and the team losing Terry Fontenot to the Atlanta Falcons, the team has been awarded three extra 2021 NFL Draft picks and one 2022 NFL Draft pick.
