The 2016 New Orleans Saints have finally been put away on the shelf along with forgettable turnouts from 2015, 2014, and years before that. Now it’s time for fans to look toward the offseason for reasons for optimism in 2017.
I’ll be dropping a seven-round mock draft every other Monday from here until the draft. This way I can account for the many changes that come in the offseason – takeaways from the Senior Bowl, NFL free agency, the NFL Scouting Combine, and more. The lead-up to the draft is an organic process with tons of variables, and I want to reflect that in this mock draft series.
