Vernon Hargreaves III. 12. player. 15. . CB. Florida

 

The Saints need help at just about every position except quarterback, although they could probably look to add a grooming project later in that position as well.

After watching their defense get absolutely annihilated for the entire 2015 season, the team has to take the best player available and that player is Vernon Hargreaves III from Florida.

While the knock on VHIII has been his size – or lack thereof – his athleticism and ball skills will help him make an impact on the NFC South who has arguably the league’s best stable of quarterbacks.

 

Previous Pick:  Shaq Lawson – DE – Clemson

Next: 13. Miami Dolphins
