The Saints are going to draft DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE in this draft. That much we know. But who are the best defensive players anyway? I’ve listed twenty below, many of which we should be considering for the Saints at both 13 and 31 overall. These are the top 20 defensive players in the NFL draft according to ESPN’s scouts.com. Now as I think about “fit” for the Saints I think it’s important to think about a player’s skillset. The Saints are evaluating a number of things, but I think character, speed (Sean Payton has already said speed to the ball is a must) and how NFL ready they are (Payton mentioned this as another important factor) are the most important characteristics for the team right now.
