Looking past free agency and into the NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints have quite a few options to choose from at the No. 24 pick.

The New Orleans Saints thrived in free agency. They signed Emmanuel Sanders to bolster their wide receiving core; they signed Malcolm Jenkins to replace the lost safety Vonn Bell in the secondary.

They re-signed Andrus Peat making him one of the highest-paid linemen in the entire NFL. They did an excellent job of ridding themselves of dead weight and filling in holes that were bad last year in the lineup.

Now, that changes how the New Orleans Saints will strategize going into the 2020 NFL Draft. There is not a specific player that they need or position they need immediate attention that they would have to focus on in the draft.

That means that they can focus on the future and how to succeed in the present day as well. They will strategize more toward the “best available” approach moving forward. With that in mind, these 10 high-profile players could all be Saints’ first-round picks.
