Patrick Queen, LSU

Daniel Jeremiah/Charles Davis, NFL.com

Two NFL.com writers projected the New Orleans Saints to grab LSU linebacker Patrick Queen with the No. 24 pick in the NFL Draft. I think this is arguable the best choice that the Saints can go with given their needs.

However, they really don’t have super pressing needs. That is what Daniel Jeremiah says in his analysis. “The Saints don’t have many glaring needs. They can afford to simply take the best player available.”

Charles Davis, on the other hand, gives some background to his Patrick Queen prediction by suggesting that the Saints want to go forward with Hill was the future quarterback.

“I’m taking coach Sean Payton at his word that he views backup Taysom Hill as a potential starting QB in the NFL, so the Saints bypass a passer with this pick and opt to add more speed to their defense.”

Either way, the New Orleans Saints are sitting pretty with their selections and because they have no glaring needs, they have an array of options that they could do including trading it away for multiple later picks.
