The New Orleans Saints have many needs, but they only have two picks in the first two rounds. With both coming at the end of their respective round, the Saints may only be able to add one player that has instant-start capabilities.

The defense was gutted, so it’s possible the franchise uses their first-round pick to replace Trey Hendrickson, Sheldon Rankins, or Janoris Jenkins. However, the Saints are also commonly mocked a wide receiver to replace Emmanuel Sanders as well.
