Bud Dupre at 13 and Maxx Williams at 31.

13

BUD DUPREE, OLB/DE
Senior, Kentucky
Now owning a second pick in the first round, at No. 31, thanks to the stunning Jimmy Graham trade with Seattle, the Saints have a little more latitude to be on the move come draft night. If they stay at No. 13, Dupree offers some of the pass rush juice they sorely lacked last season, and his blend of size, speed and athleticism should present opportunities for defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to move him around and find his best role. This might be a tad high for Dupree in the eyes of some teams, but pass rushers never linger long on the board.


31

MAXX WILLIAMS, TE
RS Sophomore, Minnesota
The Saints could easily keep their first-round focus on defense, after taking Kentucky pass rusher Bud Dupree at No. 13. But with the pick they received from Seattle in trade for Jimmy Graham, finding another starting tight end seems logical. Williams isn’t the one-on-one mismatch that Graham was—who is?—but he’d make a nice target for Drew Brees and can even add an element of blocking ability that Graham never exhibited.

Not so sure this makes sense...
