Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are still one of the more high-octane offenses in the NFL, even if they laid an egg against the Detroit Lions this past weekend. They are pretty well set on the offensive side of the ball, as rookie Mike Thomas has emerged as a top option at the wide receiver position this season. The issue forever has been the play of their defense, and more specifically, their secondary.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford made easy work of the Saints secondary in Week 13, and that is becoming a pattern for this squad. Bringing in a top cornerback is going to make them so much scarier in the secondary. Luckily for the Saints, this draft is loaded with solid cornerback prospects, and they should definitely be able to grab one of them picking as high as they likely will.

The University of Florida has the best cornerback tandem in college football, as Teez Tabor and Quincy Wilson have absolutely shut down the opposition on nearly every occasion this season. I believe Tabor is the better of the two, and he should be at least the second corner off the board next April. Wilson likely to go later in the draft, but expect the Saints to nab Tabor early, as they make a play to improve their weak secondary this offseason.
