New Orleans Saints draft Taliese Fuaga

New Orleans Saints second round draft pick Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB from Alabama, talks with VP/assistant general manager Jeff Ireland and head coach Dennis Allen over the phone after being drafted 41st overall in the 2024 NFL draft.

In 2024, the Saints brought in Klint Kubiak to be the new offensive coordinator as the team enters a second season with Derek Carr at quarterback. The Saints have nine picks in this year's draft but just two in the first four rounds.

The Saints drafted Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga, Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler, Pittsburgh wide receiver Bub Means, Texas linebacker Jaylan Ford, Northern Iowa defensive tackle Khristian Boyd, and Eastern Kentucky tackle Josiah Ezirim.
