50 players the Saints should watch on Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft

The New Orleans Saints stood pat as expected, letting the first 32 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft pass by without making a trade up. The board is set up well for them for the second day of selections; the Saints have just one pick at No. 62, near the end of the second round, but a trade back into the third round could net them another selection in that range.

Here are the top 50 players left on the board, going into the second day of selections:

1. OT Jawaan Taylor, Florida
2. WR D.K. Metcalf, Mississippi
3. CB Greedy Williams, LSU
4. CB Byron Murphy, Washington

12. DT Dre’Mont Jones, Ohio State
13. WR Kelvin Harmon, NC State
14. WR Parris Campbell, Ohio State
15. OT Greg Little, Mississippi
16. CB Amani Oruwariye, Penn State
17. RB Darrell Henderson, Memphis
18. OT Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia
19. CB JoeJuan Williams, Vanderbilt

As you can see, the Saints are set up well to target any of several positions of need: wide receiver, defensive tackle, and tight end among them. They could also upgrade their linebackers or cornerbacks. It’s about as solid a group as the Saints could hope to work with after the first round of selections.
