Saints mock drafts roundup 2.0: Tight ends, defensive ends still at the top

I could see the Saints trading out of this spot, either up or down, because the big board isn’t really falling their way at No. 27. Sean Payton has said the Saints’ top offseason priority is to improve their pass rush, and free agency seems pretty bereft of top pass-rush talent. Landry is the third-ranked edge rusher in this draft behind Bradley Chubb and Marcus Davenport, both of whom are Top 15 prospects. Landry is a pass rush specialist and probably won’t be an every-down player early in his career, but he would bring juice off the edge in passing situations, something the Saints defense desperately needs.
