DT John Ridgeway III and a 7th round pick traded to the Saints for a 6th round pick

College nose tackle with the size and length for consideration along the interior or as an odd front defensive end. Ridgeway is more wrestler than gap-eater when taking on blocks as a nose. He's likely to be coveted by traits-based evaluators eager to develop the physical ingredients into a more polished product. While most of his experience has come at nose tackle, the sum of his parts might make more sense as a 3-4 defensive end, where his long arms and natural power would become more beneficial as an edge-setter. Regardless of position, he won't offer much help as a pass rusher, so rotational lineman with upside is likely to become his tag as a Day 3 prospect.

5th Round 2022 draft pick, cut by original team and picked up by Commanders on waivers, played some. State champion wrestler NT with low pass rush ceiling but potential as NT mauler type.

I would be surprised if this is more than a 7th or exchanging a 6th for a 7th sort of deal.

ETA: nailed the compensation at least.
