New Orleans Saints 2020 mock draft: Full 7 rounds
By Conor Dorney
How will the New Orleans Saints approach the 2020 draft in what is likely one of Drew Brees’ final seasons with the team?
The New Orleans Saints brought back Hall of Famer Drew Brees for what is potentially one last hurrah on a two-year, $50 million deal, and now look for ways to potentially send him off with another Super Bowl ring.
It all starts with a strong draft class, so how will the Saints look to improve their roster? Let’s find out with this seven-round mock draft.
1st round
Wide receiver will certainly be a consideration here (Jefferson, Aiyuk and Mims are all potential targets), but the class is too deep to warrant a first-round selection unless an unexpected guy drops. The NFC South is already loaded with wide receiver talent so the Saints respond by adding in-state product Kristian Fulton with their top pick.
A Louisiana native who won a state title in the Superdome, taking Fulton would be something out of a cheesy sports movie. Thankfully for New Orleans, they also happen to need help in the secondary opposite Marshon Lattimore.
Fulton’s well-documented off-field incident involving a failed drug test may concern some teams but New Orleans has the benefit of getting intel directly in their own backyard.
