Saints Draft David Bailey at 8

For the NFL, it's March 17th.

Here's what's happening.

The New Orleans Saints head into the 2026 NFL Draft, needing a solid number two wide

receiver next to Chris Olave in a fresh edge russia.

NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah has them grabbing Texas Tech's David Bailey at the number

eight overall pick in his latest mock draft.

Bailey stands out as a top option to replace Cameron Jordan, who could hit free agency this

offseason.

The Saints lack young pass rushers, so adding speed off the edge makes perfect sense for

their defense.

Jeremiah knows that Bailey brings a real fastball against offenses, especially after a strong

college season.

Fans and analysts see this as a sneaky big need for New Orleans if Jordan walks.

The senior edge russia posted 14.5 sacks for Texas Tech in 2025 and blazed a 450 in the

40 yard dash at the NFL.

Combined, that performance has impegged as a potential top 10 talent.

Meanwhile, the Saints passed on wide outs like USC's McCye Lemon or Arizona State's Jordan

Tyson in the scenario.

With hype around other prospects, Bailey falling to eight could give New Orleans a long-term

answer up front.
