Looking back on every sixth-round Saints draft pick since 2002

We’re looking back on every sixth-round New Orleans Saints draft pick since 2002, a round the team has struggled to find great value under longtime general manager Mickey Loomis. The Saints have made 16 picks in Round 6 in this span, but there aren’t many memorable players to choose from. It’s important to keep that in mind when looking at the draft capital available to the team and which prospects are on the board in next week’s 2023 NFL draft.

You can find our previous breakdowns by round below:
