Just like in my last 2017 New Orleans Saints mock draft, I’m assuming the Saints will be active players in free agency and have addressed most of the following needs:
- Returned 2016 contributors including defensive tackle Nick Fairley, wide receiver Willie Snead IV, fullback John Kuhn, guard Jahri Evans, and cornerback Sterling Moore
My main motivation in these biweekly mock drafts is to draw attention to NFL draft prospects for Saints fans who may not otherwise know about them. There’s so many variables at play that it’s impossible to accurately predict what’s going to happen.
