New Orleans Saints predraft depth chart: Defensive line
1 Attachment(s)
The New Orleans Saints addressed two of three positions categorized as a “must” during free agency with the signings of tight end Benjamin Watson and wide receiver Cameron Meredith.
The Saints stockpiled on pass rushers during the 2017 draft with the selections of Trey Hendrickson and Al-Quadin Muhammad, and re-signed Alex Okafor, who returns from a ruptured Achilles. Despite their presence, pass rusher remains a need and the Saints have plenty of flexibility to target an impact player with eight draft picks. Additionally, it wouldn’t surprise to see the Saints go after an interior player given the team’s interest in Ndamukong Suh and Muhammad Wilkerson during free agency. http://image.nola.com/home/nola-medi...a409397f61.jpg Saints depth chart Cameron Jordan Sheldon Rankins Tyeler Davison Alex Okafor David Onyemata Hau’oli Kikaha Trey Hendrickson George Johnson Al-Quadin Muhammad Mitchell Loewen Woodrow Hamilton Devaroe Lawrence Alex Jenkins (reserve/future) Potential Day 1 (first round) selections DE Arden Key, LSU DT Taven Bryan, Florida DE Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio DE Sam Hubbard, Ohio State DT Maurice Hurst, Michigan DE Bradley Chubb, NC State (Saints would need to trade up in first round to have a shot at Chubb, who projects as a Top 10 selection) Potential Day 2 (rounds 2-3) selections DE/OLB Josh Sweat, Florida State DE Da'Shawn Hand, Alabama DT Nathan Shepherd, Fort Hays State DT Tim Settle, Virginia Tech DT B.J.

I'm still hoping for Vea, nothing more needed to set that entire front 4.

DT Taven Bryan, Florida ... at times this guy was unblock-able. His dad was a NAVY Seal so I can see the toughness/nastiness in Taven.
Many project he fall between 18-25 ... hopefully he doesn't end up as a Atlanta draft pick. |
Re: New Orleans Saints predraft depth chart: Defensive line
I like the idea of moving back out of the first and using some of our later picks to move back up into the early rounds and come away with four or five stars. I have faith in Jeff Ireland and his ability to spot talent. We need quality not quantity. We won't he able to sign eight draft picks anyway.....

I like the idea of trading with New England to leapfrog ATL and CAR
