Erik McCoy is Todd McShay's favorite Saints draft pick

The New Orleans Saints received a rave review from Todd McShay of ESPN, one of the top draft analysts in the industry. When selecting his favorite draft pick for all 32 teams, McShay fixated on the first selection the Saints made in 2019: former Texas A&M center Erik McCoy.

Pro Bowler Max Unger retired, opening up the center position on the Saints. New Orleans added Nick Easton in free agency, but McCoy is a smart, athletic talent who could push to start. The Saints need to protect 40-year-old Drew Brees inside, and McCoy is a plug-and-play option as my No.
