The New Orleans Saints knew they had a need at linebacker to address and they fulfilled that need by moving up in the 3rd round and selecting their guy Zach Baun with the 74th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Details of the trade preliminarily involve the Saints sending their 88th pick and a future 2021 3rd round pick to Cleveland for the 74th and 244th pick in this year’s draft. It also appears the team will be getting a seventh-round pick as well.
The Saints knew coming into this upcoming year that linebacker would be a key position of need.
