With their first of two seventh-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints selected UCLA tight end Moliki Matavao. He was the 32nd choice of the seventh round and number 248 overall selection.

New Orleans hired former Eagles OC Kellen Moore as the new head coach for 2025. The Saints have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and now have the youngest head coach in the league in the 36-year-old Moore.

After a 5-12 finish last season and hiring Kellen Moore away from the Philadelphia Eagles as Dennis Allen's successor, the Saints opened the draft by picking offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. ninth overall and quarterback Tyler Shough 40th overall. They have seven picks left.
