New Orleans Saints 2019 draft picks: safety Saquan Hampton selected with the 177th pick

The New Orleans Saints used the 177th overall selection, the fourth pick of the sixth round, to draft safety Saquan Hampton out of Rutgers. A bit of a curious move, considering that the Saints traded up earlier in the 4th round to select Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, another defensive back from Florida, in a draft considered deep at both receiver and tight end.
