Alright… the picture’s starting to come together.
The Saints take Oscar Delp, and now you can clearly see what they’re doing in this draft.
They’re not dabbling.
They’re committing to the offense.
What This Pick Says
You don’t take:
- Jordyn Tyson (WR)
- and now Oscar Delp (TE)
by accident.
This is the Saints saying:
👉 “We’re giving this offense weapons.”
Delp gives you:
- a big target in the middle of the field
- a guy who can block and catch
- flexibility in formations
He’s not just a pass catcher — he’s a complete tight end, and that matters.
Why It Makes Sense
Let’s be honest — tight end has been up and down for the Saints.
You need someone who can:
- help in the run game
- be reliable on 3rd down
- give the QB a safety valve
Delp checks those boxes.
And coming from Georgia, you know:
- he’s played against top competition
- he understands physical football
- he’s been coached at a high level
How It Fits With the Other Picks
Now step back and look at this draft so far:
- Tyson (WR) → speed and explosiveness
- Miller (DT) → physical presence on defense
- Delp (TE) → balance and reliability
That’s not random.
That’s building an identity.
What I Like
• Tough, physical player
• Can contribute in multiple ways
• Helps both the run and pass game
• High football IQ type of pick
What I Don’t Love
Let’s keep it real:
The defense still has questions.
You addressed it with Miller — good.
But there were still opportunities to add more impact players on that side of the ball.
So again… this is a philosophy draft.
Bottom Line
This isn’t a flashy pick.
But it’s a football pick.
And when you start stacking players who can do multiple things well, that’s how offenses become consistent instead of streaky.
The Saints are clearly trying to build something more balanced on offense.
Now we’ll see if it all comes together.
Who Dat.
