The 2026 NFL Draft will occur from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, featuring 257 picks. New Orleans Saints fans can look forward to eight selections during this crucial event.
For many NFL fans, the three most important days of the offseason are upon us. The 2026 NFL Draft is here, with three days and 257 picks separating us from a long trudge to minicamps later this summer. If you ever need any idea how quickly the NFL landscape can change with just three days, look no further than the draft, as every year, teams find themselves rising and falling in pre-season rankings solely due to the rookies they bring in during this period of time. With players retiring each season, more obviously need to come in to fill the gaps, and the draft is the time frame in which that happens.
Trades, risers, fallers, all of the above are expected to occur once again, and it will be an amazing opportunity for New Orleans Saints fans this year. With eight selections to their name and a promising young core moving forward, there is a lot to look forward to for the Black and Gold.
Pittsburgh is set to play host to the big event this year, with plenty of prospects making the trip for the Round 1 festivities. Here's everything you need to know about how to tune in and the Saints' selections to be made.

While each year, the NFL Draft is a bit difficult to predict when it comes to pick times for each team, especially factoring in trades and things of this nature, a rough estimate can be given. This year, with the Saints at pick No. 8, our estimate for their selection time is 8:56 P.M. ET/7:56 P.M. CT. It should occur anywhere within a 10 to 15-minute window around this time frame, with this serving as the center point.
