When will the Saints host the NFL draft? New Orleans' busy calendar is a real hurdle

On Monday, the NFL announced that the 2027 NFL draft will be hosted by Washington, D.C., in partnership with the Washington Commanders, with three days of draft picks to be announced from the National Mall. This year's draft in Green Bay brought more than 600,000 fans to Wisconsin after a record-breaking 775,000 spectators attended the 2024 draft in Detroit. The upcoming 2026 draft is being hosted by Pittsburgh.

So when is it going to come to New Orleans? The Saints have played host to eight Super Bowls, more than any other NFL city, since 1978.
