After months of speculation, hypothesis, mock draft boards, and practice arm chair general managers we finally made it to the 2021 NFL draft. The New Orleans Saints knew what their major needs were and many speculated they would be major players in acquiring a top cornerback in this draft. Early reports in the day were the Saints were making calls about moving into the Top 10 under the assumption that they may target a top guy like Jaycee Horn or a Patrick Surtain Jr.
As it would play out the Saints either couldn’t or didn’t make the big leap near the top of the board, but they potentially could still nab a top corner as talented prospects in Caleb Farley and Greg Newsome were still available in the 20s.
