With the roster full of veterans nearing the twilight of their careers and a few young, talented pieces, the Saints will be looking to bolster both sides of the ball. This 2025 Saints mock draft explores the best options available to the Saints as they seek to remain competitive and build for the future.

New Orleans Saints Five-Round Mock Draft
6. Will Campbell, OT LSU
Campbell is one of the highest-rated tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has elite size and athleticism for the offensive tackle position. The Saints top priority should be protecting the quarterbacks and creating rushing lanes for recently extended Alvin Kamra. An EDGE rusher and wide receiver was also considered, but ultimately, shoring up the offensive line is too vital.

38. Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M
Stewart is a big-bodied EDGE rusher at 6’6″ and 290 lbs, which fits the Saints profile in their defensive ends. He has one sack and 16 hurries through seven games. Stewart will help add some juice and physicality to an aging group of EDGE rushers.
70. Tyler Warren, TE Penn St
Warren had a historic performance against USC. He tied the FBS record for receptions by a tight end while setting a Penn State and Big 10 record with 224 receiving yards. New Orleans tight end room will be thin after the 2024 season. Juwan Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent after this season, while Foster Moreau will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season. Warren gives the team a legitimate contested catch option with great size at 6’6″ and 261 lbs.
107. Tre Harris, WR Ole Miss
The Saints are in need for more young, explosive options at wide receiver. Harris not only adds speed but good size at 6’3″ and 210 lbs. He can line up in the slot or on the outside and can rack up serious yards after the catch. Harris will add another element to a Saints wide receiver core that needs additional playmakers.
142. Andrew Mukuba, S Texas
Mukuba is an impact safety who adds youth and experience. He has played 35 games at Clemson and seven so far with Texas. Up to this point in his collegiate career, he has defended 24 passes and three interceptions. Jordan Howden has not been able to lock down the safety spot next to Tyrann Mathieu, so adding Mukuba would give the Saints more flexibility in the backend of the defense.
Last Word on This New Orleans Saints Mock Draft
In this 2025 Saints mock draft, the Saints address several critical needs, both on offense and defense. From strengthening the offensive line with a top-tier tackle prospect to adding depth at EDGE, tight end, wide receiver, and safety, New Orleans focuses on balancing immediate impact with long-term roster building. These selections set the team up to remain competitive while transitioning some of their veteran positions to younger, high-upside players in key roles.
