3rd Round

player. 15. Sensing a pattern yet? By this point it’s clear the Saints are doing everything in their power to improve the defense, hoping to take one last crack at the Super Bowl while Drew Brees still has some magic left in that right arm. Having added help to the secondary and the defensive line already, the only area left is the linebackers where they could use another quality body. Finding somebody with speed and instinct is high on the priority list. <p>Anthony Walker was considered a 1st round sleeper at some points during the college season. Odds are he goes on Day 2 though. He’s one of those jack-of-all-trades linebackers who does a little bit of everything well. He can tackle, blitz, play coverage and makes plays happen.. The key for him will be figuring out the proper weight to play at. Too low and he can’t get off blocks. Too high and he loses his trademark speed.</p>. OLB. Northwestern. Anthony Walker . 3
