The New Orleans Saints are prioritizing the reinforcement of their offensive line as they prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft. After signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract, the team is still looking for additional talent to protect second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. Recently, the Saints hosted Keagen Trost, an offensive lineman from the University of Missouri, for a private workout. Trost, who is projected to be drafted on Day 3, had an impressive 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade, ranking him first among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps last season, showcasing his reliability. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 313 pounds, Trost's versatility allows him to potentially play both tackle and interior positions. Despite having shorter arms than typically preferred for starting tackles, his strong college performance has attracted interest from multiple teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. The Saints have two fifth-round picks, at No. 150 and No. 172, which could be ideal for selecting Trost.
