Sports fans are gearing up for the NFL draft this week. The Saints have the 24th pick in Thursday night’s first round and the franchise has a history of trading up. Mike Triplett covers the Saints for ESPN and he says the Black and Gold are in a win-now mode, so it’s a possibility they could trade up again…

Triplett says the Saints do not have a second-round pick, which probably reduces the chance they move up in the first round.

The Jaguars are reportedly looking to trade former LSU running back Leonard Fournette, who still has two years left on his contract. Fournette rushed for a career-high 1,152 yards and caught a team-high 76 passes last season.

The expectation is for Joe Burrow to be the number one pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft and he’ll begin his professional career in Cincinnati. The Bengals have not won a playoff game since 1991. Former NFL great Peyton Manning told ESPN he recently spoke to Burrow on the phone and Manning warned Burrow his rookie season could be a rough one, but the future Hall of Famer said he learned a lot while taking those lumps. Manning’s Colts went from 3-and-13 in his rookie season to 13-and-3 the next year.

Manning by the way donated one-thousand meals for COVID-19 healthcare workers in the New Orleans area. Volunteers and employees at Drago’s Seafood Restaurant in Metairie prepared the meals on Saturday. Healthcare workers at the Ochsner Hospital System, Tulane and East Jefferson General hospitals received the meals.
