The New Orleans Saints were active on the second day of the 2021 NFL draft, adding an immediate upgrade at linebacker in round two before trading up quickly in round three to go find a potential starter at cornerback. So how do you grade those picks? Here’s my immediate take:
Round 2: LB Pete Werner, Ohio State
Werner tested like one of the best athletes in his draft class, and he boasts greater starting experience in high-stakes games than many other prospects. But he needs to do a better job of carrying that athleticism over once the pads go on.
