Feels like the New Orleans Saints are definitely drafting an Ohio State Buckeye.
The New Orleans Saints weren't the only ones in Columbus for Ohio State's Pro Day on Wednesday. They, along with the 31 other teams, were in attendance getting an up close and personal look at what the Buckeyes have to offer.
The only difference is that the Saints released highlight videos of each of the "first-round" Buckeyes who worked out on Wednesday.
There are 13 likely draft-eligible prospects coming from Columbus, and frankly, the Saints could take any one of them and feel good about it.
In the first round, they definitely feel like they are going to nab one of the Buckeyes that fall to them.
The Saints sit at pick No. 8, and one of the big four Buckeyes will likely be there.
If the draft shakes out the way that it is projected, Arvell Reese will be a New York Jet, and then after that, the other three could each be New Orleans Saints.
Wide receiver Carnell Tate could be selected at pick 5 or 6, Sonny Styles could be selected at maybe pick 4 to the Titans or 7 to the Commanders, and Caleb Downs could go anywhere from picks 3 through 10.
Styles would make a lot of sense as they let go of their linebacker Demario Davis, who signed with the New York Jets.
Whichever Buckeye falls to pick No. 8 will likely pack their bags and head to the Big Easy.
For the Saints, this is a position of power for them. Since they likely solved their quarterback question by drafting Tyler Shough last season, they really can go with the best players available.
If they go wide receiver, their corps becomes one of the top in the league with Chris Olave and Tate next to each other.
If they go with either of the defenders, then they are taking the first couple of steps to lay the foundation for a very young group that can take them into the future.
New Orleans is in a great spot to add talent. They know the best pool of talent is in Columbus, Ohio, and they basically shouted it from the mountaintop that they will be taking one of the Buckeyes in April's Draft.
