METAIRIE, La. -- Identifying the New Orleans Saints' top need heading into this year’s NFL draft is easy. Sean Payton singled out cornerback last week as a position the Saints must "address between now and the start of the season."
But finding the right fit with the 28th pick on Thursday night could prove a little more difficult.
Top prospects Patrick Surtain II, Jaycee Horn, Caleb Farley and Greg Newsome II could potentially be long gone by then. All four were selected among the top 16 picks of Tuesday’s ESPN NFL Nation mock draft.
