The New Orleans Saints traded up to select Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick 41 in the NFL Draft. McKinstry is known for his talent and versatility, being a top-rated cornerback in the 2024 class. The Saints traded two late-round picks to Green Bay to move up in the draft. McKinstry's draft party featured a limited edition Kool-Aid flavor, Black Cherry Blitz. The selection of McKinstry could potentially lead to the Saints trading Marshon Lattimore for cap savings.
