The New Orleans Saints need more offensive playmakers. That is plain and simple. Kellen Moore probably has some options in mind for early in the 2025 NFL Draft. That being said, adding a talent at pass catcher on day three is almost a given for New Orleans.
For my money, Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa is a really intriguing piece for the Saints on day three of the draft.
His big frame, impressive athleticism, and work after the catch is impressive. His stature also mixes well with WRs like Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Brandin Cooks. New Orleans apparently has him on their radar.
Saints to visit with Arkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa
Arkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa has pre-draft visits scheduled with the Lions, Saints & Rams, per source.
Likely to hear his name called on Day 3, TeSlaa had an excellent pre-draft process headlined by a good week at the Senior Bowl & a combine performance where he ran 4.43 (1.51 10) -- Ryan Fowler
As I mentioned, TeSlaa is a smooth mover. He can run, jump, and win contested catch opportunities. It sounds like the perfect mix to add to the Saints' passing game, specially when you probably won't have to take him until round four or later.
New Orleans also had a contingency in attendance for the Razorbacks' recent Pro Day workouts.
Isaac TeSlaa had a successful transfer to the University of Arkansas after playing some pretty good football at Hillsdale. No one really thought he would be this good, though. And, some may look at his numbers and think that he wasn't as good as I just made him out to be in my first few sentences. However, he was püt on the back burner in Bobby Petrino's offense that liked to run the ball, with an offense that had the top WR in the SEC in it in Andrew Armstrong.
TeSlaa is a strong-bodied receiver with much more speed than you think.
His 19.2 yards per reception in 2024 were much better than his 10 in 2023, and it helps show his transition to a much different role than he played in 2023. This year he caught fewer passes for more yards and more touchdowns, showing him as a deep threat was much better than the role he played before. He can be a solid NFL player if developed and given a chance. -- Justin Churchill
Don't forget the name when it comes to this upcoming rookie class for New Orleans Love this fit and value for a talent like TeSlaa to continue building the offense for Moore's plans going forward for the Saints.
