If you have seen the New Orleans Saints defense this season, then you know that they need as much help in their secondary as possible. Fortunately for them, this year’s draft class is littered with talent at cornerback.

There are a number of cornerbacks who could be the first taken in the upcoming draft, but Florida’s Quincy Wilson is currently standing out as the best of the bunch. He already has three interceptions and three passes broken up for the Gators, but the stats aren’t what make him a first-round pick.

At 6’1” and 213 pounds, Wilson looks the part of a shutdown corner. He doesn’t have elite speed like some guys in this class, but he makes up for it with his aggressiveness and natural ball skills.

With Wilson on the outside, the Saints secondary can try to turn things around in 2017.
