too early to even project if the Saints will be closer to 4-12 (extrapolating their start) or 9-7 wildcard contention. That equates to a 20 place difference in draft position. Then there is a lot of shakeout still to be had in consensus ranking of players too.

That said, Te'o is a solid looking player. Sean Porter Tex AM looks like a better LB fit for the Saints to me.

The more the pick ends up premium, the more some positions are weighted higher. If it is first half of the 1st Rd I would guess two positions- a high impact pass rushing DE (Jeffcoat TX, Werner Fla St types) that could replace Will Smith. There's some good DE depth in this class. Or a day one starting LT if they choose to let Bushrod walk. It isn't a deep LT year tho.

I think we need to get a 2nd somewhere and grab a pass rushing DE with the first and DJ Fluker with the second
