12. New Orleans Saints

player. 15. Anytime a team needs to score 48 points in a game to win by seven, it’s clear there are problems on the defensive side of the ball. The New Orleans Saints have been grasping for answers in their secondary for years, specifically at the cornerback position. Aside from their mediocre-to-bad pass coverage, the lack of playmakers is evident each and every week. It’s putting way too much pressure on the offense to score, and that doesn’t win football games. <p>A solid cover corner won’t solve all of their problems but it will get them pointed in the right direction. Teez Tabor fits the long, athletic type their defense prefers. He can line up in straight press coverage and rarely requires help over the top thanks to his fluid athleticism and speed. His ball skills are also well-developed. There really aren’t many holes in his game, meaning he should be able to start right away.</p>. CB. Florida. Teez Tabor . 12
