The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off live from Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 23 and the latest crop of rookies will be hearing their names called all weekend long. For the New Orleans Saints, the biggest need is an obvious one: Wide receiver.
Wide receiver Chris Olave is annually on the trading block and is entering the final year of his contract. With Olave’s long-term future in doubt, it’ll behoove the Saints to get a young pass-catcher they can develop alongside second-year QB Tyler Shough. The Saints haven’t had a 1,000-yard receiver other than Olave since Michael Thomas in 2019.
