Saints' Mock Draft: Edge Rusher, Playmakers, Depth

0:00On March 30th, the 2026 NFL draft is creeping up fast, less than a month out in late April and ESPN's Matt Miller just dropped a full. Seven-round mock for the New Orleans Saints. They snag David Bailey, that beast edge from Texas Tech, at pick 8 in the first round, Guy had 23 tackles for loss and 14 point. Five sacks last year, perfect to fill the void after Cameron Jordan hits free agency. Moving to round 2, pick 42, they grab explosive wide-out Zachariah Branch from Georgia, a home run threat who doubles as a killer return man. To juice up second-year QB Tyler Show's options, fans are buzzing about how this haul hits multiple needs, like bolstering the secondary with speedy corner trade and stokes from Arizona in round 3. And beefing up the line with Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer right after. It's got that immediate impact vibe, especially in Brandon Staley's defense. Litter rounds keep the momentum. Notre Dame tight-end Eli Raritan and Alabama DT.

1:04Tim Keenan III for trench warfare, Washington RB. RB Jonah Coleman for tough yards and Notre Dame OT Amel Wagner to protect the pocket. This mock has the Saints building a balance squad, prime to compete edge rush, playmakers, and depth everywhere, setting them up strong for the long haul. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
