Hey, this is good to see: at least one national outlet was impressed by the New Orleans Saints’ decision to pick Bryan Bresee in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar issued an ‘A’ grade for the move to select the big-time Clemson Tigers defensive tackle, writing of the pick:
Saints head coach Dennis Allen saw his defense lose some valued defensive linemen in free agency, so Bresee is a smart pick here, as long as he can transcend a slightly worrisome injury history. As Allen tends to prefer, Bresee can play all over the line, and he is a disruptor above all, with a knack for the kinds of quick pressure that is job one in the NFL these days.
