Saints among teams scouting future pros at Georgia vs. Georgia Tech

The New Orleans Saints were in attendance for the latest edition of "Clean, Old Fashioned Hate" on Friday's rivalry game between Georgia and Georgia Tech. Representatives from the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers (2) were also onsite.

There are a host of promising 2026 NFL draft prospects between the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets, and with the way the Saints' season is going, they'll have their pick of the litter. New Orleans suffered an embarrassing 24-10 loss to the visiting Falcons in Week 12, falling to a 2-9 overall record.

If things continue on the way they are, New Orleans should cement a spot in top-five or even top-three in the selection order. There's a lot of fixing to do and a plethora of positions the Saints could use help in, and they'll use the draft to address some of that.

For now, the Saints' most pressing positions of need are considered to be at edge rusher, cornerback, quarterback, wide receiver and within the interior offensive line. Here's a look at some of Georgia and Georgia Tech's most notable NFL draft prospects that the Saints could pursue in April.

Georgia Bulldogs:

• LB CJ Allen

• DT Christen Miller

• FB/HB Oscar Delp

• QB Gunner Stockton

• CB Daylen Everette

• OT Monroe Freeling

• WR Zachariah Branch

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets:

• QB Haynes King

• IOL Keylan Rutledge

• RB Jamal Haynes

• WR Eric Rivers

• WR Malik Rutherford

The 2026 NFL draft will run from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. It marks the first time the event has been held there since 1949.
