Saints definitely need to upgrade the cb spot opposite of k. Lewis. Free agency seems the best route for immediate impact as most rookie corners take some time to develop.
As a project pick I was thinking it could interesting to draft Nick Marshall out of Auburn. Most people know his story , signed with Georgia out of high school as a DB. Played sparingly his freshmen year, transferred to Auburn to play QB in malzahn's spread. Played great.
Invited to senior bowl as a corner , played ok with only 4 days of practice .
Invited to nfl combine as QB but will hold individual workouts for teams as a DB.
They guy is super fast & has a big arm.
The saints under Payton typically only keep 2qb's on the active roster.
If the saints can get this guy in the 5th round or later he could really be an asset. He could very well end up being a good corner , an emergency 3rd string QB and a stud on special teams .
He's a hell of an athlete and will make a team , just hope it's not the falcons or patriots.

Yea the saints could certainly use another project pick at cornerback.

Nick Marshall will spend 3 years on a practice squad and then go play in the arena league.

Lol at Marshall being mentioned as a QB in any way. No idea about his CB capabilities, though. Certainly a very late round project at best.

Saints need to get a cb in free agency. I'm done drafting them
