Så er der efterhånden blot timer til at årets draft går i gang. Og her kan du læse hvem New Orleans Saints vælger ifølge eksperterne.

Det tyder på en defensiv spiller, men hvilken? Nok en cornerback eller linebacker. Men der er ikke en enkelt spiller som skiller sig ud. Her er hvem de vælger.

Zaven Collins, LB, Tulsa

The Saints are always lauded for their offense, but they have become consistent Super Bowl contenders by constantly upgrading their defense. Collins’ speed and playmaking ability fit well in New Orleans.

Collins is a long, fluid linebacker with some pass-rushing juice.

Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia

New Orleans has a huge need at corner. Campbell is still a little bit raw, but his physical tools are enticing.

Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State

I’m sticking with Samuel here. With Janoris Jenkins out the door, the rookie plugs right in opposite Marshon Lattimore.

Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech

Farley underwent a back procedure last month that could scare some teams off from taking him in the top half of the round. But the Saints have needs in the secondary and if Farley is healthy, this pick becomes a steal.

Greg Newsome II, CB, Northwestern

They have to get a corner to go with Marshon Lattimore. In a division with Tom Brady throwing to his skilled receivers, you need cover players.

Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia

The Saints know they need cornerback help. Stokes offers a terrific blend of size/speed/play strength and the ability to match up with the fastest wideouts in the league.

Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida

Lots of Caleb Farley-to-New Orleans talk on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s possible. Or the Saints go with Toney, who could be an electric addition to an offense that lost Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook this offseason.

Levi Onwuzurike, Dt, Washington

The Saints need to find a pass rusher to fill the void created by the departures of Sheldon Rankins and Trey Hendrickson. Onwuzurike has the size, length and hand skills to create problems from the interior.

Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky

To the delight of the Saints, Jamin Davis is still on the board after an overwhelmingly positive pro day. He is a really athletic player that is only scratching the surface of what he can become consistently.
