The return of Drew Brees in the 2020 season is expected and will determine how the New Orleans Saints approach the upcoming draft. A legitimate WR2 was the glaring need for the Saints offense in 2019 and might be the final piece in building a Super Bowl contender.
Many analysts expect the Saints to use their first-round pick, 24th overall, on a wide receiver who can provide playmaking ability and force attention away from Michael Thomas.
In recent years, the Saints have found value at the wide receiver via the draft; most notably, Michael Thomas and Marques Colston.
