The Saints swung <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/raiders-trade-former-first-round-pick-tyree-wilson-to-saints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a trade<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/tyree-wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tyree Wilson<\/a> and signed free agent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/anfernee-jennings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Anfernee Jennings<\/a>, but neither brings the potential production that Jordan has sustained. The Kamara situation is a separate question, but one with no obvious answer after the Saints didn\u2019t add to the RB room. At this stage, I\u2019d hang on to Kamara as insurance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/travis-etienne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Travis Etienne<\/a>, but his future remains a question. The Saints didn\u2019t draft a corner until Day 3 and could use aid, particularly at the nickel spot. New Orleans added firepower with first-round pick Tyson, who combines with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/chris-olave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chris Olave<\/a> to form a dynamic duo. Later, the Saints brought in even more potential in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/bryce-lance\/32004c41-4e01-6345-8092-4a076edb3284\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bryce Lance<\/a> (fourth round) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/barion-brown\/32004252-4f26-8113-7df6-d8e54bf1f269\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Barion Brown<\/a> (sixth) to overhaul the receiver room. The pecking order behind Olave and Tyson will have to be figured out, but it\u2019s already a significantly improved crew than the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/tyler-shough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tyler Shough<\/a> was tossing to at the end of last year.<\/p>\n<p>Saints&#8217; 2026 draft picks: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/2026-nfl-free-agency-tracker-latest-signings-trades-contract-info-for-all-32-teams#saints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Offseason additions<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/2026-nfl-free-agency-free-agents-notable-departures-for-all-32-teams#saints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Departures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Still to do: The draft didn\u2019t provide a ton of clarity on the future of Kamara or Jordan,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[68019,4687,1829,1327,8849,1807,3687,8850,1822,1799,1816,7820,1810,8305,1804,4058,3686,1811,1236,1812,6337,1820,1322,8851,1815,1814,977,5702,349,6257,1239,1321,560,8852,99,1824,8853,3851],"class_list":["post-612257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-2026-nfl-draft","tag-analysis","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-atlanta-falcons","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-carolina-panthers","tag-chicago-bears","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-denver-broncos","tag-detroit-lions","tag-draft","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-houston-texans","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-minnesota-vikings","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-jets","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-washington-commanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
