Cornerback and wide receiver were listed among the top needs for the New Orleans Saints this offseason in the lead-up to the 2021 NFL Draft.
Though the team added a cornerback in the top half of the draft in the form of former Stanford Cardinal Paulson Adebo, the position remained far from settled.
Similarly, with the Saints’ receiver group, a single seventh-round draft pick was added (South Alabama’s Kawaan Baker) with the team seemingly intent to give it a go with the pass catchers on hand.
