What Saints are getting in Oscar Delp: Fit and scouting report

• Needs to be more consistently productive in traffic
• Hasn't been a major running threat after the catch
• Can over-commit as a blocker and get caught off balance by counters
• May need to add more bulk to maximize effectiveness as an in-line blocker

Oscar Delp has good length at 6-feet, 5 inches and 245 pounds. Playing his first two seasons at Georgia behind Brock Bowers, there weren't a lot of pass catching opportunities. He'd still establish himself as a solid blocker and would develop into a nice matchup advantage for the Bulldogs.

With Juwan Johnson coming off his best season and the free agent addition of Noah Fant, the selection of Oscar Delp with the ninth choice in the third round surprised some. However, you can see the vision from coach Kellen Moore. Delp will need to be a little stronger as a blocker, yet should be able to contribute in that area right away. He'll also be a legitimate threat as a pass catcher, giving the Saints multiple ways to attack defenses with all three tight ends on the field. Oscar Delp is one of the better all-around tight ends in this year's draft and has the upside of a productive starter. At the very least, Delp gives the Saints their deepest tight end room in memory and gives quarterback Tyler Shough another weapon in his arsenal.
