The New Orleans Saints have unexpectedly secured a compensatory pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, correcting a prior misallocation by the NFL's Management Council. This seventh-round pick, now at No. 254, comes after an error awarded the Miami Dolphins an additional pick instead. The Saints’ selection stems from free agency moves involving Isaac Yiadom, who previously signed with the San Francisco 49ers before returning to New Orleans.

This comp pick is a modest but strategic addition, complementing an already solid draft position including the 9th overall pick and multiple other selections across various rounds. Though not significant in round number, this pick can be pivotal for depth or targeting a specific need. With Yiadom's return, fans might see a unique twist where he announces the pick the Saints make with the selection earned from his departure.
