The New Orleans Saints' draft performance over the past decade has been disappointing, especially in 2023, which ranks as the worst.
In the 2023 draft, the Saints selected players like Bryan Bresee and Isaiah Foskey, but both have failed to live up to expectations. Foskey was drafted 40th overall but did not record a single sack before being waived. Kendre Miller has struggled with injuries, while other picks like Nick Saldiveri and Jake Haener have made little impact. Only safety Jordan Howden showed promise, performing decently for a fifth-round pick.
The Saints' poor drafting has left the team lacking in critical positions, with few starters emerging from those classes. This ongoing trend raises concerns about their ability to build a competitive roster. Moving forward, the Saints must rethink their draft strategy to prevent further talent gaps, as the future of the franchise relies on better player selections and development.
