NFL Draft 2021: What the big picture for the New Orleans Saints looks like heading into the season

The 2021 New Orleans Saints might be the hardest to pin down Saints team since 2015. Drew Brees has retired, Jameis Winston is the presumed starter, Taysom Hill is in the wings, and the defense is — in a word — thin.

On the offensive line, meanwhile, you have Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk extensions looming. So there are a ton of questions for the Saints, with the most pressing being: Is the 2021 season part of the New Orleans championship window?

The biggest needs for the Saints heading into the draft were at left cornerback and linebacker alongside Demario Davis.
