2017 NFL Mock Draft: Projected First Round After Week 4
By Tyler Brooke
All you have to do is look at the New Orleans Saints defense to know that they’re in desperate need of cornerbacks. The current starters on the depth chart are undrafted rookie De’Vante Harris and undrafted veteran Delvin Breaux. P.J. Williams was starting but was placed on injured reserve after suffering a severe concussion.
Regardless of where the Saints pick, they’re going to have to seriously consider drafting a cornerback. Fortunately for them in this mock draft, none of the top corners have been taken yet.
Florida’s Jalen “Teez” Tabor could very well be the best cornerback in this class, although that could change in the next six months. He has some of the best ball skills in the country for a defensive back and has shown that he can play in man or zone coverage.
If the Saints are looking for a future No. 1 cornerback, they would be wise to take Tabor with their first-round pick.
