Saints Eye Indiana WRs for Draft

0:00It's April 6. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today, full-ball news powered by AI. The New Orleans Saints are building a young squad with talent, but they need more firepower at wide receiver behind Chris Olave. Draft analyst Tony Paul Leam reports they're eyeing two Indiana Hoosier standouts, Elijah Sirrett and Omar Cooper Jr. for the 2026 NFL. Draft. Both guys project as second to third round picks, perfect for the Saints spot around Pick 73. They skip to wide receiver moves in free agency, so the draft looks like their main play. Trades for vets like Brian Thomas Jr. or AJ Brown aren't off the table, but grabbing fresh talent early makes sense for depth. Fans and scouts are buzzing about these prospects after Indiana's big year. Cooper Jr. shines as the top guy with smooth skills, while Sirrett's quit moves and elusiveness have them rising fast on boards. Sources say the Saints hit it off with both at Indiana's pro day last week, spending serious time evaluating them.

1:00They might snag a tight end like Kenyan Sadiq in Round 1, pivot to a pass rusher next, then circle back for a receiver on day 2. With those early picks locked in, expect New Orleans to lock down one of these Indiana playmakers in the first three rounds and boost that offense for. The long haul.
