ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. addresses the Saints' biggest need

What are the most-important positions for the New Orleans Saints to address in the 2020 NFL Draft? Before free agency, replies would have included wide receiver, offensive guard, linebacker, safety, and cornerback. And likely quarterback.

With the first week-and-a-half of free agency in the books, the Saints have plugged many of those holes on their roster. They’ve added help at wide receiver (Emmanuel Sanders) and safety (Malcolm Jenkins) while retaining their own starters at guard (Andrus Peat) and cornerback (Janoris Jenkins), among others. They still have work to do in reinforcing the depth chart — younger options at corner would be nice, and they should add another passer — but the biggest hole remains at linebacker.
