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.
