Off-Season in a nutshell

It's not a Priority for this Off-season but what if I told you via a little birdy that was in Indy for the combine that the Saints staff is very, very interested in Grant Delpit from LSU.

They love the character, and love the 2018 tape, Payton/Allen value Interceptions, feel they have been overall lacking from the Secondary... was one of the first prospect visits by the Saints early in the morning and was told if Delpit is at 24 he will be the pick..


Ok seems like a "What the... heck!?" thing like why would the Saints prioritize drafting a Safety? Seems like they want leverage / insurance a year from now with Marcus Williams' rookie deal expiring.. if his play continues to fall off they have the Rangy Free Safety of the future to plug right in... Saints are known for Drafting guys a Year ahead... (Ram when still had Strief, MT when we had Cooks, and Snead.. so on so forth)

Also EVERYONE and their mother is expecting the Saints to take a Wide receiver first in this draft.. and when was the last time the Saints ever did what was the popular consensus opinion? rarely ever they always surprise in the Draft.

The Saints can like a safety in the draft, it doesn’t make it our top priority. It’s not even our biggest weakness in the secondary.
