Saints Winning Streak CHANGES Everything About the 2026 NFL Draft | James Skrmetta

The New Orleans Saints’ winning streak just changed everything especially how the Saints should approach the 2026 NFL Draft.

In this video, James Skrmetta recaps and reviews the Saints’ dominant win over the New York Jets and explains why this late-season surge completely flips the long-term outlook for New Orleans. With Tyler Shough continuing to develop, rookies stepping up across the roster, and the team clearly trending upward, the Saints no longer have to force a quarterback pick or reach for need in the draft.

Instead, the Saints now enter the 2026 NFL Draft with flexibility the ability to go best player available at any position and continue building a sustainable winner. That’s a massive shift from where this team was earlier in the season.

In this breakdown, James explains:

Why the Saints’ win streak matters more than draft position
How Tyler Shough’s development changes the QB conversation
Which rookies are accelerating the rebuild faster than expected
Why “drafting for need” is no longer the Saints’ reality
How New Orleans is quietly setting itself up for long-term success
The narrative around the Saints has officially changed — and the draft strategy is proof.
