NFL.com: Projecting top 100 NFL rookies of 2016
4. DT Sheldon Rankins, New Orleans Saints: The Saints had the second-worst run defense in the NFL last year. The need was clear, and Sean Payton has suggested Rankins can be an every-down player. His quickness as a pass rusher was evident at the Reese's Senior Bowl in January.
15. WR Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints: Putting Thomas together with Drew Brees can be as dynamic a pairing as any combination of veteran quarterback and drafted receiver. 23. S Vonn Bell, New Orleans Saints: Bell can play well in coverage as a safety, and not just zone coverage; he can match up. That's why he was a steal for New Orleans at No. 61 overall.

We have not had a DT described as a pass rusher in a long time. If he can play every down that is a bonus

I just hope that Rankins can provide us with sufficient push up the middle.

Not a bad draft. Those aren't the only impact players we got during or immediately after the draft. Come on training camp.
