ESPN Draft Expert Todd McShay's 2023 Mock Draft
Todd McShay has the Saints drafting:
"...At 6-6 and 298 pounds, he displays great upper-body strength and quick hands. I like the fit as a run-plugger in the middle of the Saints' defense, replacing free agent David Onyemata. The Saints' run D gave up 4.5 yards per carry last season, which ranked 20th."

"Smith only performed the bench press in Indianapolis, tossing up the bar 34 times -- the highest total for any defender at this year's combine...He'll blow the doors off of testing at his pro day. For a team in need of DT help, this is a slam-dunk pick."

Pro Football Network Media Draft Analyst Cam Mellor's 2023 NFL Mock Draft
New Orleans Saints select: Jalin Hyatt, wide receiver, Tennessee
"With speed to burn, Jalin Hyatt can expect a lot of open concepts in the Saints' passing attack with their variety of weapons. Hyatt was at his best when he was able to streak down the field from the outside. Derek Carr has plenty of arm strength to test the deep waters with his new top deep threat."

New Orleans Saints select: Calijah Kancey, defensive tackle, Pittsburgh
"...At 6-1 and 281 pounds, Kancey might not live up to the unfair Aaron Donald comparisons, but he has the tools to be a persistent disruptor on the interior."

CBS Sports Draft Analyst Ryan Wilson's 2023 NFL Mock Draft
New Orleans Saints select: Bryan Bresee, defensive tackle, Clemson
