The 2026 NFL Draft is finally here, and the New Orleans Saints currently have the 8th overall pick. We know for sure that the excitement begins tonight at 7 p.m. CT in Pittsburgh but with 7 teams currently scheduled to pick ahead of them, what we don’t know is what time the Saints will be on the clock.
Every team is allowed 8 minutes to make their selection. However, there is the introduction of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and then a brief speech before all the action gets underway. So, taking
all that into consideration and also assuming that all the teams before New Orleans will take their full 8 minutes, we’re estimating that the Saints will make their pick at approximately 8:05 p.m. CT.
Make sure you stay tuned to Canal Street Chronicles for all the latest from night 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
