11. New Orleans Saints

Florida. Quincy Wilson . 11. player. 15. Having one of the worst pass defenses in the league year after year sends a fairly clear message. The New Orleans Saints aren’t good enough in the secondary. Either at cornerback or safety. Sure they could use another pass rusher but that likely won’t solve their problem. Every aggressive defense like the one they wish to run requires at least one quality cover cornerback who can survive on an island without help over the top. <p>Given the strength of this class, it’s the idea time to grab one. Quincy Wilson has steadily risen to the top of the heap. The Florida corner looks like the real deal in every sense. He’s tall, long, athletic and shows the fluidity and speed to hang with receivers down the field. He’s cut his teeth against the best of the SEC, which means he’s battle-tested and well-schooled. He should be able to start right away too, a huge bonus for this team.</p>. CB
