12. player. 15. . DE. Clemson. Shaq Lawson

Darron Lee and Shaq Lawson from Clemson are the two prospects who seem to fit what the Saints need best.  One is a National Championship winning outside linebacker who could also be converted into a safety with good coaching. The other is a National Championship competing defensive end from Clemson who’s talent translates best as a 3-4 outside linebacker.

For New Orleans, the pick here is Shaq Lawson from Clemson who will become a linebacker in their base 3-4 and also has the ability to play on the line as a 4-3 pass-rusher.

 Previous Pick:  Shaq Lawson – DE – Clemson

Next: 13. Miami Dolphins
