NFL Mock Draft 2016: Tennessee throws a curve ball

15. <p>Myles Jack falling to number 12 overall seems highly unrealistic, and I will grant that. However, the Saints would do <em>backflips</em> on the way to hand the card in to pick him up without having to trade.</p> <p>New Orleans has crazy needs at virtually every level of the defense, and that has led to many defensive linemen and another linebacker (Ohio State’s Darron Lee) as popular choices here. For me, the Saints profile as a team that would lock in on defensive line help in a vacuum, but with the way this draft has gone and the fact that Jack is seen by many as a top-five talent, it would be crazy for New Orleans to pass.</p> <p>The injury concerns (Jack did not even work out at the combine) are very real, and that has led to some skepticism about the former two-way star as a top pick. Still, all indications are that he will be ready to roll when the 2016 NFL season begins and this would be incredible value for the Saints.</p> <p>It is hard to overstate just how bad the Saints were on defense a year ago (and, really, during the entire Rob Ryan regime) but things are turning and Myles Jack would be a steal.</p>.
