Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

[neugey]

Second round is working out in our favor as no RB's taken so far, knock of wood. We could snag a great one in the 3rd, let alone a nice one later!

His tape is legit & he’s a coachable guy.

Just hate its the Bucs.

I know nothing about Cody Mauch but I like him already. He’s going to be a fan favorite.

We certainly have a type.

And that type has us fielding a top five defense. Can't argue with that.

You don’t have any complaints from me.

Foskey
Pre-Draft Analysis
Foskey is a quick and powerful run defender who stacks tight ends with ease and holds his ground against most offensive tackles. He locates the ball, disengages and is relentless in pursuit. He's one of the best edge tacklers in the draft. As a pass-rusher, he's at his best when he can build momentum from a wide alignment, shoot his hands, extend his long arms and get offensive tackles on their heels. He hunts the ball and excels at knocking it loose when he gets to the quarterback. -- Steve Muench

Post-Draft Analysis
The Saints are determined to field a better defensive line in 2023. After selecting Bryan Bresee in Round 1, they came back around in the second to get a dynamic pass-rusher in Foskey. The team has struggled to replace Trey Hendrickson, and Marcus Davenport had a disappointing 2022 before leaving in free agency, so Foskey, with 22 sacks over the past two seasons, could come in handy as a rookie starter. -- Matt Miller


So why is Foskey better than K White?

One thing we haven't had for a while is a pass rusher who can strip the ball too. Foskey will hopefully change that.

That was a nice moment by Terron Armstead.

Shouting out to Steve Gleason 🫡

Classy guy.
