Step forward PFF

11. New Orleans Saints
Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU

White bounced back from a subpar 2014 season to post the top overall grade among cornerbacks at 90.5. He broke up 12 passes, good for third in the nation, while showing the skills to cover both on the outside or in the slot. The Saints simply have to add talent to their defense, and White is a strong, versatile option

Leaving Adams and Solomon Thomas on the table

32. New Orleans Saints (from New England Patriots)
David Njoku, TE, Miami

The Saints add another weapon for QB Drew Brees as Njoku brings wide receiver-like skills to tight end. He averaged 11.2 yards after the catch per reception last season while ranking third in the draft class with 200 yards on deep (20-plus yards) receptions.

42. New Orleans Saints
Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

The Saints double-dip at the cornerback position, this time adding Conley, who brings good size and movement skills. He can play press or off coverage, allowing a nation-low passer rating of 13.6 into his coverage, and while there was certainly some luck involved in that number, he adds another playmaker on the back end of a revamped New Orleans defense.

76. New Orleans Saints
Curtis Samuel, RB/WR, Ohio State

Samuel needs an offense that will take advantage of his skills as both a runner and as a receiver, and what better place than New Orleans? He’ll play in the slot where he can run smooth routes at the short an intermediate level while keeping defenses off balance just enough with some work out of the backfield, much like he did at Ohio State.

103. New Orleans Saints (compensatory pick)
Taywan Taylor, WR, Western Kentucky

More weapons for QB Drew Brees, this time in the form of Taylor, who brings solid outside route-running that helped him rank third in the draft class with 3.92 yards per route run in 2016.
I know one thing, while I'm from Louisiana and I'll pull for State, I don't feel we have to have LSU players on the Saints...

But we've reached our quota of Buckeyes as far as I'm concerned...

And Gareon Conley is likely to go before Tre White...And WTF is the Defensive End reinforcements?

Look at the talent, not the school. They're all just big boys now. Let's pick the best regardless where they once were.

Not really Saints related, but I need to post this somewhere...


So if the Browns are trading up, I'm assuming it's for a QB. Which means potentially a great defensive player gets pushed down the board to us!

We could still land Butler for our 2nd round pick on day 1.

I believe it will be for pick 32 though.

Re: Saints Possible Options At Pick No. 11

the pats will flip 32 for more picks to make up for the picks they already traded.

pick 32 is not just one pick but could count for as many as 3 picks.

Then the contract price adding in?

Rather we went for Stephon Gilmore when all is totaled

your also throwing away a fifth year option player.

I do not like pick 32 involved in this at all.

He is not worth it

I would want to know the reasoning of not signing Gilmore? Puzzles me why we give up a 32 in the 1st and get Butler when we could have gotten Gilmore and pulled the trigger on a cb. at 32 or 42 with a great big deep draft on corners. I totally agree with you.

At this point in time, we haven't given up the #32. I hope it stays that way and we just draft a CB in the draft at some point...
