NFL Draft 2021: A case for the Saints taking a cornerback in the first round

The New Orleans Saints have a few glaring holes heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. Some of those holes were there heading into the offseason, whereas others were opened up due to a plethora of cuts to get under the salary cap. Two of the main defensive cuts that opened up massive positions of need for the Saints were Janoris Jenkins — freeing up a spot at cornerback No. 2 — and Kwon Alexander — tearing a hole in the linebacker corps.

The worst part is that these are positions that were generally strong for the Saints last season.
