The 2021 NFL draft is nearly upon us, and the potential to add a franchise-altering player means excitement is at a fever pitch. For now, the New Orleans Saints hold the 28th pick, though reports suggest the Saints could trade up in the first round. A trade would likely mean they are have a specific target in mind and hope to fulfill some of their obvious holes on the roster: cornerback, linebacker, defensive line, and wide receiver.
At this point, New Orleans currently owns eight draft picks which they will utilize to fill the holes on the roster.
