The New Orleans Saints tried to get a tight end for-now-and-the-future in the 2018 NFL Draft, but didn’t. It wasn’t for lack of trying - evaluating the position was one of their first offseason priorities, based off Senior Bowl meetings, NFL Scouting Combine interviews, and private workouts around the country. Their valuations of prospects just never aligned with their draft positioning.
Maybe one of the undrafted rookies makes a great impression at this weekend’s minicamp tryouts. Cam Serigne and Deon Yelder are already popular names among fans.
