New Orleans Saints 2016 NFL Draft order
Here is the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the New Orleans Saints.
The New Orleans Saints have plenty of weapons on offense with quarterback Drew Brees at the helm, but their defense was the worst in the league last year and they need to start allocating as many resources as possible to building the next good Saints defense.
They can’t afford to rely on Brees to put up 40 points a game anymore and the team is in a cap bind, which means that they don’t have the money to go out and spend on other players because the players that they have spent on haven’t ended up being worth the money.
That means that it is of the most importance to hit on their draft picks if they’re going to remain competitive while Brees is still the quarterback of the franchise. They have the No. 12 pick in the first round and there stands a chance that some good defenders might be there on the board when the team gets around to making their pick.
They aren’t really in a position where they can trade back either, because they need a high-end talent in this draft. Here is the complete 2016 NFL Draft order for the Saints.
