2020 NFL Draft: LSU and the Saints

By Shea Dixon | 247 Sports

Two years ago, the New Orleans Saints made the move to draft an LSU player, selecting interior offensive lineman Will Clapp in the seventh round.

With the 2020 NFL Draft approaching this month, could Sean Payton and the Saints dip back into the pool of LSU prospects following the team's National Championship season?

There are many reasons to believe that might be the case given the Saints have position needs that match up with a handful of LSU's 20 draft-eligible prospects, Payton and Co. are as familiar with LSU's prospects as any team and the Tigers won the national title in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

So far this offseason, the Saints made some notable moves in free agency to add a starting wide receiver in Emmanuel Sanders and some extra help at defensive back with the addition of Malcolm Jenkins.

The team also resigned defensive tackle David Onyemata and left guard Andrus Peat. In addition to adding Jenkins to the roster, the Saints picked up the fifth-year option on cornerback Marshon Lattimore and inked cornerback Janoris Jenkins to a two-year extension.
