The New Orleans Saints did not draft former South Carolina nose tackle Taylor Stallworth, but they were able to select him after all selections were made. The Gamecocks starter even made the opening-day roster, started a few games in place of Tyeler Davison, and is now graded out by Pro Football Focus as one of the NFL’s best rookie defensive linemen. Check out how he stacks up:
The players listed ahead of Stallworth include Da’Shawn Hand (fourth round pick), Maurice Hurst (fifth round), Harrison Phillips (third round), and Deadrin Senat (third round). Stallworth is the only undrafted rookie to crack the top five at his position leaguwide.
