The Saints are having trouble stopping teams through the air, and even though third-round cornerback P.J. Williams was on the injured reserve, they should continue to look for talent at that position. As the Saints' transition from their high-flying offensive days under Drew Brees to a more run-oriented approach, they might look for a jackhammer at the guard spot who can blow holes open for Mark Ingram. If the Saints can find a quality pass rusher who can consistently threaten off the edge, that will go a long way in helping their secondary as well. Drew Brees is not getting any younger.
LEONARD FLOYD/Edge http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/leonard-floyd?id=2555285
Unique combination of length and athleticism. Extremely rangy with great chase speed from sideline to sideline. Good change of direction for taller player. Long limbs and twitch to spring into a tackle from a mile away. If unblocked, will chase down line of scrimmage from backside and foil run plans.
ELI APPLE/CB http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/eli-apple?id=2555277
Good height, weight and arm length combination. Clean footwork in transition with natural ability to mirror and match from press coverage. Won't open hips early and rarely turned around off line of scrimmage. Has foot quickness in short spaces to maintain feel for his man. Extremely competitive when ball is in the air.
A'SHAWN ROBINSON/DT http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/ashawn-robinson?id=2555265
His size and overall talent level will have NFL teams drooling and projecting him along any and all defensive fronts, but his film might leave them hungry for more. Robinson is a projection-oriented two-gapper who can step in right away and help plug holes in a leaky run defense. If Robinson can improve his leverage issues and pass rushing, he has all-pro potential; however, he’s not a sure thing to become a star.
CODY WHITEHAIR/OG http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/cody-whitehair?id=2555132
With his combination of functional strength and body control, Whitehair might be one of the safest offensive linemen in the entire draft. He will almost assuredly be bumped inside to guard, but could be considered at center as well. He has the confidence and talent to start right away and his run blocking should improve as he gets more comfortable firing out from a three-point stance. Whitehair has the ability to be a very good starter with a ceiling that could reach the all-pro level.
PAXTON LYNCH/QB http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316
Very tall, athletic body with ability to scan over the top. Elite foot quickness for a tall quarterback. Can maneuver quickly out of a busy pocket and away from trouble, but desires to keep passing option alive. Sets up in the pocket quickly and generally keeps feet "throw ready". More functional scrambler than "tuck and run" quarterback.
SHAQ LAWSON/DE http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/shaq-lawson?id=2555252
Built like a tank with thickly muscled legs and a broad chest. Clemson played him at 5-technique and standing up on the outside. Scheme versatile and will likely appeal to be 3-4 and 4-3 teams. Very powerful at the point of attack. Able to punch, extend arms and control the line of scrimmage or set a hard edge.

I went with Floyd. BPA and fills a need. They need a better pass rush. Was going to go with Robinson but they signed Fairley.
That secondary is a bit of a mess, but I'm not a fan of Apple honestly. Have him as my 6th CB.

CB is fluid this year after Ramsey. I saw a site the other day that had McKenzie as the 6th ranked and second round. I see him slightly behind if not tied with Hargreaves. Eli just seems to be the next highest rated by most sources.

I can agree on that. It's pretty much a 'who fits your system more' after those two CBs.
Mine goes Ramsey, Hargreaves, Mackensie, Fuller, Jackson, then Apple.

I went with the theory that a great pass rush will help out the secondary, Lawson should help with that.
