Saints: 3 first-round picks who could fall down to No. 28

A prospect that may fall to Saints at No. 28: CB, Caleb Farley, VT

I have previously looked at the three potential cornerback options for the Saints at the No. 28 pick. They included Asante Samuel, Jr., Tyson Campbell, and Jaycee Horn. I excluded Caleb Farley because, in every projection, he goes ahead of No. 28.

Earlier, Farley ranged anywhere from No. 9 to No. 16. However, there are some mock drafts coming out now that have Farley dropping to No. 28. CBS Sports has Farley as the No. 11 overall pick and the No. 1 ranked cornerback.

In 23 games spanning his freshman and sophomore seasons, Farley has six interceptions for 14 yards and a touchdown. He also had 56 tackles, 19 passes defended, and 1.0 sack. Farley was a standout cornerback at VT that has dropped recently in mock drafts.

According to Joe Marino at The Draft Network, “Farley brings a rare blend of physical traits in terms of size, length, quickness, fluidity, and athleticism that he pairs with exceptional man coverage skills. Farley has a full toolbox of traits to develop into a shutdown corner.”
