The New Orleans Saints added eight new players during the 2026 NFL Draft, using the weekend to strengthen several key areas of the roster and bring in fresh talent on both sides of the ball.
New Orleans opened its draft by selecting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State with the eighth overall pick, giving the offense another young playmaker. The Saints then turned to Georgia for two more additions, taking defensive tackle Christen Miller and tight end Oscar Delp, both of whom bring size and SEC experience to the roster.
Later in the draft, the Saints continued adding depth. Auburn offensive guard Jeremiah Wright gives the team another option along the offensive line, while North Dakota State receiver Bryce Lance adds another pass-catching target. New Orleans also addressed the secondary with Ohio State defensive back Lorenzo Styles Jr. and Iowa cornerback TJ Hall.
The Saints also selected LSU wide receiver and return specialist Barion Brown, a pick that could bring added energy to special teams and the return game.
Altogether, the Saints’ eight-player class reflects a clear effort to add speed, size, and competition across the roster. With new faces at receiver, tight end, defensive tackle, offensive line, and defensive back, the team will now look to see which rookies can earn roles when offseason workouts begin.
