The New Orleans Saints traded their first round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to move up last season and bag pass rusher Marcus Davenport. Now there’s plenty of hand-wringing at the thought of New Orleans waiting until pick No. 62 to make their first selection. But here’s some good news: the team’s biggest position of need, bar none, is at tight end. And the Saints will not need a first round pick to pick up a great prospect.
In 2018, 16 different tight ends recorded 39 receptions — the Saints leader, Ben Watson, posted just 35 catches.
