Many won’t agree, and that’s OK. And I am all but certain Loomis will trade up into the 4th round. The team has a history of drafting for quality and not quantity. We end up with 6 picks in my projection.

Here’s my draft board for our picks.

I’m assuming we trade Picks 170,190 and 199 to move up in the 4th round.

#14 OT Fautanu or Fashanu
#45 WR Wilson or Pearsall
#120 DT Sweat or Wingo
#168 RB Sherdin or Shipley
#170 Trade for #120
#175 ?
#190 Trade for #120
#199 Trade for #120
#239 ?

Loomis will trade with his buddy in Philly for the #120 pick.

Both the RB’s are made for outside zone, which will be the new way in NOLA.
 
Sure did, I missed it in my post. Good catch.
I’d live to see a TE in the mix, maybe that happens around the 150 mark …
Need Edge/OG/CB more tbh

150: Jalyx Hunt/Mo Kamara/Brennan Jackson/Nelson Ceasar

175: Sataoa Leumea/Trevor Keegan/Isiah Adams/Javion Cohen

239: BPA(probably secondary)

It’s likely the Saints could get one of the OG’s McCormick or Robinson at pick 168.
 
This is how I see the top 14 going. Could also see us trying to trade up to 12 w/Denver. Denver trades down to take Bo Nix at 18.

And Loomis will get fleeced again. Philly will turn those picks into 3 Pro Bowlers enroute to NFC Championship/Super Bowl appearance.
 
7 picks

All Oline
When I first read your post I thought it said All Online. lol

Well, it will be On Line but it'll be on the Phone Line. I don't see them keeping all 9 picks and though there is a glaring need they won't all be for Oline. The main thing is they need to hit on what picks they make and, at least one, if not more than one, has to be Oline.

I think the Saints will make 5 picks in this years draft and they will include:

OL
DT
WR
S
RB

I don’t know about Fautanu. They like his versatility but there are some medical stuff that might make picking him at #14 difficult. If he’s the highest rated OT at #14 it means Bowers has likely slipped. He’s the cleanest eval in the entire draft, I think he’d be the pick. The only hesitation is that they are a bit backed into a corner with the OL.
