With the Washington Commanders falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game, the New Orleans Saints’ 2025 NFL draft slots for their current picks are nearly finalized.
The team had been awaiting the conclusion of the Commanders’ season for a while due to the amount of draft capital they received from the Marshon Lattimore trade. To take us back to the trade, the team received third-, fourth-, and sixth-round selections in exchange for their fifth rounder and Lattimore.
Because of Washington’s loss, the team is now scheduled to select at pick No. 93 (third) and 129 (fourth). The additional sixth-round selection that the team received was finalized at the end of this years regular season, as it was originally given up by New Orleans in a trade for John Ridgeway III. We’re still waiting for compensatory picks to be awarded which will impact the draft order in rounds four through seven.
As of right now, here’s a list of where the team is currently projected to select via Tankathon (picks in bold text are finalized):
- Round 1, Pick 9
- Round 2, Pick 40
- Round 3, Pick 71
- Round 3, Pick 93 (via Washington)
- Round 4, Pick 110
- Round 4, Pick 129 (via Washington)
- Round 6, Pick 185
- Round 7, Pick 253 (projected compensatory)
Many didn’t expect the Commanders to make it as far as they did, which ultimately lowered the value of this trade. With that said though, the picks will be all of what the team makes of them come April, which will be a very crucial time of year for this organization.
