New Orleans Saints 2008 Draft Preview

(My Sportsbook) - After taking an offensive player in each of the past three first-rounds, New Orleans is almost certain to address the defense with its No. 10 pick this year. Specifically, a long-underachieving secondary requires some reinforcements, and the Saints should be able to get a very good corner - Mike Jenkins (South Florida), Leodis McKelvin (Troy), or Aqib Talib (Kansas) - with its initial selection. A pass rusher to take some pressure off of the hot-and-cold Will Smith could be another early-round target, a move that would allow Charles Grant to move inside and help fix a shaky interior line. Trench help would also be a good addition on offense, where the team lost reliable center Jeff Faine to division rival Tampa Bay in free agency. If the Saints draft a skill player, it could very well be a wideout, since the team did not have a consistent complement to Marques Colston a year ago.

2007 Record: 7-9

First Pick: No. 10

Number of Selections: 6 (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)
