David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech
The New Orleans Saints are poised for a significant 2026 NFL Draft to support quarterback Tyler Shough and bolster their roster after a promising finish last season. With pressing needs on both offense and defense, the Saints selected David Bailey, a standout EDGE from Texas Tech, with their eighth overall pick. His impressive stats and combine performance position him as a cornerstone defensive talent, complementing the team’s strategy to enhance their defensive line while freeing up cap space for future roster improvements. This selection marks an essential step in the Kellen Moore era, aiming to solidify the Saints as competitive contenders in the NFC South.
