NFL Draft 2024: Full list of Saints draft picks on Day 3
It's hard to believe, but the 2024 NFL Draft is coming to a close on Saturday. After months of rumors and speculation, New Orleans Saints fans finally got their answer to what the front office would do early on, as people are still buzzing over tackle Taliese Fuaga and cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry joining the organization.
Now, the Saints front office is going to hope to add some late-round sleepers to the mix. The excitement is high for people in New Orleans and the good news is that there are seven more picks on the way.
How many picks do the Saints have on day three of the 2024 NFL Draft?
Currently, New Orleans has seven total picks on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Saints have four picks in the fifth round, two in the sixth, and one in the seventh. Here’s a look at where exactly each of those picks are:
Round | Pick | From |
|---|---|---|
5 | 150 | — |
5 | 168 | Comp |
5 | 170 | Comp |
5 | 175 | Comp |
6 | 190 | — |
6 | 199 | Eagles |
7 | 239 | Broncos |
With seven total picks on the final day of the draft, New Orleans will have the opportunity to build depth and find some late-round gems, something the franchise has been able to do in recent years. Since the Saints have already addressed the needs of offensive tackle and cornerback with the selections of Fuaga and McKinstry in the first two days of the draft, they will have the freedom to address several different positions.
It’s also important to note that just because New Orleans is entering Day 3 with seven picks, it doesn’t mean the team will pick seven times. The Saints could trade picks away if they want to move up or they could gather even more picks by trading down. The front office could surprise us all with what they decide to do, but with so much draft capital, you never know what might end up happening.
