Saints Assistant GM Jeff Ireland on Senior Bowl, Draft Strategy & Evaluation | James Skrmetta Reacts

Описание: The NFL Draft doesn’t start in April it starts in Mobile, Alabama. In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to and breaks down a recent interview with Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland, where Ireland explains why the Senior Bowl is such a critical part of the New Orleans Saints’ draft process and how the team evaluates prospects up close before draft night.

With the Saints heavily represented on the Panini Senior Bowl coaching staff — including RBs coach Joel Thomas as head coach, LBs coach Peter Sermon as defensive coordinator, and QBs coach Scott Tolzien as offensive coordinator — New Orleans has a unique advantage in getting firsthand information on draft prospects. Ireland explains how the Saints use these practices to evaluate intelligence, versatility, coachability, and positional flexibility in ways that college tape alone can’t show.

James dives into Ireland’s comments on why the Saints refuse to “guess” on players, how they build a complete vision of a prospect, and why Mobile is the foundation of everything that comes next — the NFL Combine, team visits, pro days, and ultimately the 2026 NFL Draft, where the Saints currently hold the 8th overall pick.

If you’re a Saints fan who wants to understand how the front office thinks, why the Senior Bowl matters so much, and what New Orleans may be prioritizing in the upcoming draft, this is a must-watch breakdown.
