| Happy Friday and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for April 28, 2023. The Saints made their pick in the first round of the NFL draft, filling a need by selecting Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee with the 29th overall pick. We’ve got everything you need to know about Bresee in today’s newsletter. Saints’ reporter Terrin Waack writes about the Saints’ selection. Saints’ reporter Luke Johnson gives you the scoop on what Bresee’s college coach, Dabo Swinney, had to say about the player he coached for three seasons. And here are five other things you may want to know about Bresee. Columnist Jeff Duncan writes about how the Saints were predictable on the first night of the draft. Here's my column on how the NFC South got a little tougher Thursday with the Carolina Panthers using the No. 1 draft pick to select Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. That’s all for Thursday, but there is plenty more on tap Friday on Day 2 of the draft. The Saints have two picks today. (one in the second round and one in the third round). That's it for today. We'll have wall-to-wall coverage from Friday’s NFL Draft on our website. As always, thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend. Rod Walker |
