Well that’s disheartening. The Saints identified cornerback as their top need in the 2021 NFL draft, and unsuccessfully tried to trade up to address it. And now one of their targets is off the board with the Titans picking Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley at No. 22, the Saints stuck waiting at No. 28.
You can’t say they didn’t see it coming; Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson reported earlier this week that the Saints believed they would have to trade ahead of Tennessee to land Farley, and they were right, with the Titans quickly snapping him up.
