The New Orleans Saints exited the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft with a prospect rated high on their board, having stood pat at the 24th overall pick to select Michigan offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz.
So which players could they target on the second day of the draft? Right now, the Saints have just one pick in rounds two and three (near the end of the third frame, at No. 88). But New Orleans also has all of their 2021 draft picks and several projected compensatory picks to use as trade bait, and maybe jump back into the second round.
Whatever the case, they must make the most of this opportunity. The top prospects remaining on our board with top-50 draft grades:
- 22. RB Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
- 23. DT Marlon Davidson, Auburn
- 25. OT Ezra Cleveland, Boise State
- 26. DE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State

- 28. G/C Lloyd Cushenberry, LSU
- 31. CB Jaylon Johnson, Utah
- 32. S Jeremy Chinn, Southern Illinois
