Who are the best prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft? More importantly, which of this year's best players could do the most to help the New Orleans Saints win games in the fall? Wide Left's Arif Hasan did the hard part of collecting rankings from more than 100 different draft analysts to find a consensus on this year's top 300 prospects. We'll be thinning the field out to just top-100 prospects at the Saints' top positions of need: wide receiver, edge rusher, defensive tackle, and defensive back. You could make an argument for right guard to be a high priority, too, but there isn't a player the Saints could realistically draft who would push Cesar Ruiz out of the lineup. Unless we just jinxed it. Hasan's consensus rankings are a big undertaking, and we'll continue to lean on this resource throughout the draft. Be sure to support his work.
