The New Orleans Saints have been proactive in securing contracts for their 2025 draft picks, aiming to finalize agreements swiftly. Notably, first-round selection Kelvin Banks Jr. has signed a four-year rookie deal, marking him as the highest draft pick for the franchise since 2008. The Saints have also completed contracts with several other picks, including linebacker Danny Stutsman and cornerback Quincy Riley, both of whom bring promising collegiate accolades.

Kelvin Banks, a standout offensive tackle from Texas, was essential to the Saints' strategy, as he potentially shifts the offensive line dynamics with his expertise at left tackle, impacting the positioning of 2024's first-round pick Taliese Fuaga. Meanwhile, Stutsman and Riley are expected to fortify the defense, stepping into roles left vacant by veterans, enhancing the squad's competitiveness in upcoming seasons.
