8. New Orleans Saints

Tennessee. Cameron Sutton . 8. player. 15. <p>The injury to Sheldon Rankins was unfortunate but it doesn’t end his year, so it’s not quite time to call him a bust. Still, that doesn’t mean the New Orleans Saints are out of the woods on defense. Their secondary remains riddled with question marks.</p> <p>Their two best options at the moment are Delvin Breaux, a former undrafted free agent from San Francisco and P.J. Williams, their 3rd round pick from last year who didn’t play a single game because of injury. It’s little wonder the team decided to sign journeyman free agent Cortland Finnegan.</p> <p>Talent and depth both make this pick an obvious one. While Tabor would’ve been nice, they can’t be sad about Cameron Sutton. The 6-foot-1 kid from Tennessee plays a physical, in-your-face game. He has no fear of hitting or making tackles and shows enough athleticism and speed to hang with receivers down the field.</p> <p>At certain points in 2015 it felt like quarterbacks just stopped throwing his direction. That has to be a good sign, right? There is no doubt the Saints need an edge to their defense. More attitude. Sutton can provide that and more.</p>. CB
