Saints Grab Bain in Mock Draft

On April 2nd, the New Orleans Saints just climbed out a salary cap held as off-season,

signing free agents without those shady void years, and now, they're eyeing the draft

to rebuild.

In the 2026 Pride of the Troid community mocked draft, they're up at the 8th pick, run

by FanGM, GA, underscore Lions fan, and they grab.

Ruben Bain, an edge defender for Miami.

Earlier, picks shook things up, with the Raiders taking quarterback Fernando Mendoza first,

Jets grabbing edge, Arvel Rhee's second, and so on, down to.

The commander snagging wide receiver McCoy Limon at 7, that left Bain as the top talent

available for New Orleans.

Fans and the mock GM see this as a defensive boost, since the Saints already added running

back Travis at TN, and spent recent first rounders on.

Offensive tackles.

No need to force a wide receiver here, defense calls in a tough NFC South.

Fans got short arms, but he dominates with raw power and slick technique, not reach,

and he proved it with steady impact last season.

He's the perfect fit as they ditched the old Drew Breeze crew and build fresh.

This pick sets them up to hunt offense later, keeping the pressure on rivals while transitioning

smart.

Saints fans, stay tuned for how this mock unfolds.
