New Orleans under GM Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton have been aggressive in previous NFL Drafts.   The rumors are for the Saints to select cornerback Caleb Farley from Virginia Tech as their primary target.   SNN Contributor Mike Detillier projects the Saints may have the draft equity to trade up into the 15-23 spots of tonight's draft.

Last season the Saints selected G/C Cesar Ruiz at No. 24 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.  The defensive tackle position is scarce and one player is projected to go in the first round, Alabama's Christian Barmore.   Christian Barmore is a under 23.5 (-110) at PointsBet and could be a great prospect for New Orleans to complement their defensive interior rotation.
