Hopefully he benches Ruiz

Mauler in the run game. Needs work in pass protection

I really like the pick.
I hope 2026 is our last year with Ruiz.

Saints met w him multiple times… probably backs up Ruiz this year and hope to cut Ruiz next offseason and take over

Put him in as a backup center and back at his natural position.
At least it gives some depth. May as well try it for a year.

He is a future starter for us. No question in my mind.

I mean he really is a mauler in the run game. He is huge. Seems like he is going to struggle with Speed on the inside. If he figures out the pass protection he can be pretty good.
Nice 4th rounder.
This draft is deep imo.

From Dane Brugler, The Athletic

Guard 17
Grade: 5th–6th rd.
Jeremiah Wright
Auburn
A heavy, physical presence whose power and intangibles make him worth drafting.
Drafted No. 132 by the Saints
Overview
Hometown: Selma, AL
Birthday: September 5, 2001
Age: 24.6
Year: Sixth-year senior
A two-year starter at Auburn, Wright was a fixture at right guard in former head coach Hugh Freeze’s balanced (gap and zone) scheme. A sixth-year prospect, he bounced between the offensive and defensive lines his first few seasons on The Plains before becoming a full-time starter over his junior and senior seasons.
Wright is big, strong and wants to move people off the ball on combos and base blocks. He looks to overpower anything in his way, which is understandable for a former defensive lineman, but he’s still learning to introduce more skill into his play. He works hard to stay square in pass pro but has shaky moments responding to savvy rushers.
Dane’s takeaway
Dane Brugler Illustration
Wright is still developing his recovery skills, but he is a heavy, physical presence who can anchor and end reps once he latches. His power and intangibles make him a worthy draft-and-develop guard in a gap scheme
quote:
Strengths
Wide-framed blocker, with broad shoulders and burly thighs/calves
Powerful at contact to plow run lanes
Uses length as the drive blocker on double-teams, steering his man off the spot
Mean dude — isn’t shy about working through the whistle
Nice job framing pass sets to stay centered between ball and rusher
More consistent knee bend and footwork last season than on 2024 tape
Stands his ground against different types of rushers, especially massive bodies
Beloved in the program and earned high character marks (NFL scout: “One of the staff’s favorites … awesome worker and guy.”)
Fights through minor stuff — started every game the past two seasons
Weaknesses
Average athleticism and change-of-direction control
Sloppy tendencies on tape — feet get heavy late in reps
Puts himself in compromised positions against shifty defenders
Could benefit from added finesse and patience
Hand placement needs to find better consistency, both in run game and pass pro
Needs to be quicker dissecting late pressures and stunts
Torn left ACL (March 2021), which sidelined him for 2021 season
Will turn 25 as an NFL rookie
