Seventh round, 227th overall: Shaquan Davis, WR, South Carolina State And I'm not making this up: His middle name is Saint.ħ. Warren has good size at 6-foot-5, 311 pounds, with a seven-foot wingspan, and is capable as both a run-blocker and in pass protection. New Orleans used a first-round pick last year on tackle Trevor Penning, with a Pro Bowl tackle on the other side in Ryan Ramczyk, but if you can upgrade your swing tackle with a fifth-round pick, it's good value. Fifth round, 165th overall: Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh Davis is 34 and can't have many 100-tackle seasons left in him, but New Orleans also has 2022 fifth-round pick D'Marco Jackson, who spent his rookie season on injured reserve.Ħ. The Saints lost Elliss to the Falcons but have two solid starters in Demario Davis and Pete Werner. Sewell, the younger brother of Lions tackle Penei Sewell, is big for an inside linebacker at 246 pounds and must make up in physical tackling what he lacks in typical linebacker speed. Fifth round, 146th overall: Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon He grew up just north of New Orleans rooting for Reggie Bush - can it be a homecoming story if you never really left?ĥ. Adding Jamaal Williams is huge, especially if Alvin Kamara misses any time due to suspension, but Spears can be a change-of-pace back to complement those two. Spears doesn't even have to move, coming off a monster senior year at Tulane in which he rushed for 1,581 yards and 19 touchdowns while adding 256 yards and two more scores receiving. Fourth round, 115th overall: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane Harrison had only 11 sacks in four years with the Buckeyes, but his long arms (36 inches) and athleticism make it possible for him to be more productive in the NFL.Ĥ. Payton Turner, a first-round pick in 2021, has three sacks in two years, managing only 13 games, though he still has a chance to show what he can do if he can stay healthy. Third round, 71st overall: Zach Harrison, Edge, Ohio StateĬameron Jordan turns 34 in July, and having lost Davenport this year and Trey Hendrickson two years ago, New Orleans could use an infusion of youth in its pass rush. He's a dangerous blitzer as well, totaling 13.5 sacks in the past two years.ģ. Bradley Roby struggled at nickel, so Johnson's combination of size (6-foot-2) and speed (4.52 in 40) would come in handy, whether as a big nickel or just a box safety. Second round, 40th overall: Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&Mīetween safety and nickel, there's a key need for the Saints: Tyrann Mathieu is 30, Marcus Maye is 29, without much promising depth behind them. It's unfair to compare him to Aaron Donald, which many have, but he can still make a splash as a rookie.Ģ. It's rare to see a 281-pound prospect run the 40 in 4.67 seconds, validating the success he had on the field with 14.5 sacks over the past two seasons. Kancey's breakout showing at the Combine makes him hard to project in terms of where he'll actually go. The Saints lost defensive linemen Onyemata and Shy Tuttle in free agency, and while they were able to reload with Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders, replenishing their front is a must.
