Fixing one 2019 NFL Draft pick for each team in the NFC South.

Today, we are going to focus on the NFC South by taking a look at their 2019 NFL draft classes.

The NFC South was dominated by the New Orleans Saints last season, and while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not expected to be competitive in the division anytime soon, the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers should give the Saints a run for their money.

That being said, out of the four NFC South teams, I was most impressed with the Saints’ draft. Despite their lack of picks, the Saints did a great job of adding immediate impact players to their roster. The gap between the Saints and the rest of the NFC South may have gotten larger this off season.

The NFC South teams made many interesting selections throughout the draft, but nobody had a perfect draft class. Instead of being happy with mediocrity, we are going to try to fix these draft classes by changing one pick for each team in the division.

These changes will not make these draft classes perfect, but they would be a step in the right direction. Who knows, maybe it would give the rest of the division a better chance to catch the Saints. Speaking of, New Orleans is up first.
