Heading into free agency, the New Orleans Saints' two most glaring needs were edge rusher and cornerback.
Heading into the draft, that hasn’t changed.
Perhaps the Saints will still wind up trading for New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler. (That idea isn’t dead yet, but apparently it has been languishing until the April 21 deadline for restricted free agents to sign with other teams might spur some action.) It's also possible the Saints could make a bold move and trade for Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, though there has been no indication yet of the Saints showing interest in him.
