It’s no secret the Saints are in need of linebackers. It’s also no secret Alabama’s Reuben Foster is one of the best available in this year’s draft. In a strictly football fishbowl, the Saints would be crazy to pass over Foster if he is available when they choose with the 11th overall pick. In his senior season, the 2016 Dick Butkus Award winner posted the second most tackles (115) in all of college football and five sacks.
Even though he is recovering from offseason rotator cuff surgery, Foster is expected back healthy by training camp.
