19. New Orleans Saints

15. The reasoning behind this pick is as simple as it gets. The New Orleans Saints have the worst pass defense in the NFL. Period. End of story. They rank 32nd overall, allowing 300 yards through the air. In fact the only reason they’re not challenging the Browns for the #1 pick is the continuing brilliance of Drew Brees on offense. What a blessing. If this franchise has any hopes to try for one more Super Bowl before it’s too late, this is the problem they must fix. <p>They have two choices. Either improve the pass rush or find cornerbacks who can cover. Given the state of the 1st round, the latter course is their best option. Marshon Lattimore is part of a strong tandem that has driven much of the success for Ohio State this season. He’s well-built with good height, plenty of speed and agility and doesn’t make a ton of mistakes. He’s still discovering his instincts but that should come with time.</p>. CB. Ohio State. Marshon Lattimore . 19. player
