Of course the New Orleans Saints were going to address the offensive line. The Saints traded up to select Kentucky offensive tackle Landon Young with the 206th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Coming to the Wildcats as a former five-star recruit, optimism was high for left tackle Young. Despite suffering through some durability concerns, Young has provided rock-solid play for one of the SEC’s most talented units. From a physical perspective, he hits all the size and length thresholds a team would want at tackle. While he shouldn’t be coined as possessing an imposing power profile, Young does have enough in terms of power to give opposing defensive players some problems.
