Although the New Orleans defense took major steps forward this season, there is still plenty of room for them to improve. Khalil Mack is a guy that can come in a start right away, and in that defense, Mack would be a star.
The Saints have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Drew Brees, and the team knows they need to provide him with solid protection. Taylor Lewan, a lineman out of Michigan is a perfect fit. With right tackle Zach Strief hitting free agency, Lewan would be a great addition.
Despite, Keenan Lewis’ stellar play, the team needs to continue improving in the secondary, and by picking Darqueze Dennard, they add a player with the potential to shut down his half of the field.
Although New Orleans has a deep receiving core, something is missing. The team needs a big red zone target, and Kelvin Benjamin from Florida State is a perfect fit in that role.
Ryan Shazier, an outside linebacker out of Ohio State, would have an opportunity to shine for the Saints if they were to take a chance on him. He’s not the most polished player in the draft, but he has star potential.
