Now that NFL free agency has slowed down, we turn our attention to the upcoming NFL draft which is less than a month away. The draft will be staged in Kansas City from April 27-29. Usually I start producing mock drafts during the Senior Bowl in January, but given the New Orleans Saints had so much uncertainty surrounding so many key positions and players, I held off. We now know Derek Carr is QB1, Michael Thomas will be back and that the Black & Gold addressed pressing needs at defensive tackle and running back in free agency. So here goes, my 2023 New Orleans Saints mock draft. New Orleans has eight total picks in the seven round draft.
