With their second of two fourth-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints selected Louisville Cardinals cornerback Quincy Riley. Many expected the Saints to address corner earlier in the draft. It was considered a deep draft class at the position, with a few possible projected starters even slipping into the third round.

Cornerback Quincy Riley has been selected by the New Orleans with the No. 131 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper ranked Riley as the 11th-best cornerback back in the draft, and NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah had as the 111th overall prospect. ESPN pundit Louis Riddick had Riley on his top five sleepers outside of Round 1 and had him as the No. 2 player available entering the final day of the draft.
