Saints – 2019 NFL Draft player profile: Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia

A major need for the Saints in the 2019 NFL Draft, as it was last year, is a tight end with the ability to come in and become an immediate starter. At the very least an upgrade over Josh Hill. But with Benjamin Watson retiring, what more fitting send off than to draft his replacement out of Georgia, his former alma mater. University of Georgia tight end Isaac Nauta may be exactly the ticket and should be available when the Saints pick at number 63 in the second round.

To be honest, with what the Saints tight ends position group did in 2018, just about anything would be an upgrade.
