Five of the New Orleans Saints’ last six top picks in the NFL draft have been spent on trench players along the offensive or defensive line, and it’s very possible that trend continues in 2021. So keep an eye on North Carolina State defensive tackle Alim McNeill, a legitimate prospect the team could target with the 28th overall pick in this year’s draft.
The Draft Network’s Justin Melo reported that McNeill has a busy schedule: he’s already spoken with the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Indianapolis Colts, and he has a meeting coming up with the Saints as well.
