B/R NFL Scouting Dept.’s Predictions Entering April

The New Orleans Saints have to be excited because they ended the 2025 campaign as a team trending upward and still have a top-eight selection to add a top-tier prospect.

In this particular case, Miami’s was easily one of the nation’s most dominant performers this past season. He should be in the conversation as early as the second overall pick. However, concerns over sub-31-inch arms will follow him until he proves he can be the same type of player at the professional level.

The Saints can take full advantage of Bain’s slight drop.

“Edge may not be a major need in New Orleans,” Holder said, “but the team could use some help at the position, particularly with Cameron Jordan still unsigned. Furthermore, this pairing is a case where the Saints walk away with the best player available. Bain adds potential to reduce inside on passing situations, creating opportunities for him, Chase Young and Carl Granderson to be on the field at the same time.”
