3 draft needs for the New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints brought back defensive tackle Nick Fairley and signed former Detroit guard Larry Warford in free agency, but otherwise they stuck to a few smaller signings and avoided any costly impact players. Moves to cut Jairus Byrd and trade Brandin Cooks have only created more needs for the team overall. Fortunately, New Orleans holds five picks in the first three rounds, including three of the top 42 spots. With so many legitimate needs still, they also have a good opportunity be able to take the best player available on the board and hit one of five or six needs at the same time, particularly with the deep classes of cornerbacks, safeties, and running backs.
