After a hot 2-0 start, the New Orleans Saints have lost five in a row and look like a team on the brink of a rebuild. Partially due to injuries, this NFC South squad have struggled on both sides of the ball particularly on defense where the team ranks dead last in total defense. This is an area where the team will look to get younger and more tough in the offseason. On the offensive side of the ball, there are some playmakers. When Derek Carr was healthy, the Saints proved to be an explosive team. However, with Carr out and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler under center, that explosive offense has become less consistent. With Carr approaching free agency, the Saints may have to look at adding a QB high in the draft. Whether its defense or offense, the Saints will need to explore ways to get stronger and deeper and the 2025 NFL Draft will be a good way to find the players to fulfill some of those needs.
