Saints get a playmaking linebacker in 2019 NFL mock draft

The latest 2019 mock draft comes from Gavino Borquez over at Draft Wire. He’s created a three-round mock draft, which is heroic, but the New Orleans Saints have only one draft pick. In the second round, he connects them with Washington Huskies linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven (6-foot-0, 222-pounds). Here’s part of his story from the Draft Network’s Benjamin Solak scouting report:

Pros: A bat outta hell in terms of explosiveness and physicality. Fires into oncoming blockers with great speed-to-power conversion. Uses his hands to win the chest plate and displace players over 100+ lbs heavier than he is.
