It’s hardly the news New Orleans Saints fans were hoping to read the morning after the playoffs Divisional Round, but here it is. Time marches forward and so will we. With the Saints eliminated from postseason play and their 2020 season over, their initial draft slot has been set at No. 28 overall in 2021, behind the other teams that lost in this round, owing to New Orleans’ stronger regular season record.
For a quick refresher, the last three draft prospects selected at that spot include Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen, Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman Jerry Tillery, and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds.
