How many draft picks do the New Orleans Saints own after trading Davon Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars? The team's first move before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline brought back a sixth-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft that could accelerate into the 2027 draft if certain conditions are met (which we'll get to shortly). The way things stand right now, the Saints are expected to pick six times in the 2027 draft while owning nine selections in 2028.
We'll see if things change as we get closer to the deadline, but here's an update on their draft capital.
2027 NFL Draft
- Round 1 (own)
- Round 2 (own)
- Round 3 (own)
- Round 4 (own)
- Round 5 (own)
- Round 6 (via Los Angeles Chargers)
If the Jacksonville Jaguars acquire a sixth-round pick in a trade with another team or as a compensatory draft pick, it will revert to the Saints.
2028 NFL Draft
- Round 1 (own)
- Round 2 (own)
- Round 3 (own)
- Round 4 (own)
- Round 5 (own)
- Round 6 (via Houston Texans)
- Round 6 (via Jacksonville Jaguars, conditional)
- Round 7 (via Dallas Cowboys)
- Round 7 (via New England Patriots)
If the Jaguars' sixth-round pick transfers in 2027,
the Saints will not receive a pick in 2028. That hasn't happened yet so we'll project the pick to fall in 2028 until something changes.
2029 NFL Draft
- Round 1 (own)
- Round 2 (own)
- Round 3 (own)
- Round 4 (own)
- Round 5 (own)
- Round 6 (own)
- Round 7 (own)
