Whether it's Lamar Jackson or not, Saints draft strategy should be 'best player available'

Lamar Jackson to the New Orleans Saints? Prepare yourself for the possibility with the Saints at No. 27 overall in the NFL draft.

Hear me out before some of you launch Molotov cocktails in my general direction.

If the Louisville quarterback is the best player available when the Saints pick (an NFL.com mock draft tabbed Jackson to the Saints this week), the team should take him. I'm not saying he will be the best player available on the board when the Saints pick April 26. But if he is, the Saints have to select the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner.
