Saints Draft Oscar Delp: Boosting Passing Game

0:00On April 25th, the New Orleans Saints grabbed tight-end Oscar Delp with the 73rd overall pick in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL draft. This move loads up their offense with another dynamic playmaker for quarterback Tyler Show as the team keeps stacking weapons on that side of the ball. They're clearly going all in on the attack, building a round show with explosive options early in the draft process. Fans and analysts are buzzing with a solid B-grade on this pick. Delp's got elite athleticism that lets him create mismatches and get open-down field, though his college stats were a bit light and blocking needs. Work. He steps into a great spot learning from vets like Jawan Johnson and Noah Fant, where his receiving skills can shine right away in two tight-end sets, or pass heavy looks. Expect Delp to push for snaps early, boosting an already promising passing game as the Saints gear up for a run at the playoffs.
