The Saints went in to the 2018 NFL Draft with some needs the team’s leadership had identified publicly. One of those needs was linebacker. Yet they failed to land one in the draft even with seven picks. Bleacher Report identified linebacker as the Saints biggest need to fix in an article released yesterday.
The offseason addition of Demario Davis via free agency will certainly help. But, other than Davis, the Saints linebacker corps is Alex Anzalone, Craig Robertson, Manti Te’o and A.J. Klein. As far as starters go at least.
Davis will be playing the middle for the Saints in 2018.
