Last season, Michael Thomas was the main target for future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees. However, there really wasn’t a second option in the New Orleans Saints receiving corp. This season, they’re hoping that changes.
With only five picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, the NFC’s best team has to be selective, only targeting positions they were seriously lacking in like center and safety, the positions they spent their top picks on.
But, after the draft, the talent was still on the board, so the Saints bought in.
They snagged receiver Emmanuel Butler, an undrafted rookie out of Northern Arizona.
