Cox? The kid who played for the LSU Tigers last fall? Saints won't touch him, just like last year with Patrick Queen.

All I know is at the end of the day, 6 former Tigers will be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. Hopefully the Saints scouts get the memo that there are some difference makers in Baton Rouge we should take a serious look at in the 2021 draft.

I’m fairly certain the team plans on Zack Baun being the starting Mike LB next season. Payton stated after the draft that they envisioned him playing that role and they gave him a whole season to learn and make that transition.

Forget about a LB in the first round.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

TCU Safety name comes up again ….Kenny V played in NO for 4 seasons, now Marcus would be on season #4 as well.

If Marcus Williams is leaves (Free agent), I wonder if Trevon Moehrig would be that guy at Free safety on the Saints short list in the 1st round?

If history has shown us anything about Saints drafts, a LB (especially from LSU) will not be chosen in the first round. All through Payton’s tenure, they’ve had a total of one drafted first IIRC.

OK, so it needs to be O-line, Cox or a FS. It will change before the actual draft I'm sure.

I always plan on them drafting for the trenches in the first round. It's been their MO for quite a few years now.

Sean may want to rethink his not taking LSU players, especially linebackers...
