Williams chose IHOP. No joke. Perhaps John Lynch is more of a Waffle House guy.) The Saints ... are ... the ... top ... team ... in ... the ... league. As for the financial constraints, thems the breaks when you pay one quarterback such a big piece of your salary-cap pizza. The Vikings bulked up their offensive front with Garrett Bradbury (No. Facing the likes of Kupp, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks in practice will only help the game of the Rams' first pick, safety Taylor Rapp. Rapp = a steal late in the second round. Enter the trade of Frank Clark, a 25-year-old defensive end they were going to have to otherwise pay to keep around long term.

With NFL teams holding their first padded practices of 2020 this week, Dan Hanzus explores the league to identify who's up and who's down through the early going of training camp. 18 overall) in the first round, then swung around in the second to take tight end Irv Smith (No. The Saints should be able to put together a better secondary this year with the youth developing. 8 overall). Quiet draft for an organization that made the most noise, by far, during free agency. While it would have been nice to see Tampa Bay source some ground-game help at some point in the draft, here's (really) hoping that fifth-round kicker Matt Gay works out. Sign up for the Saints Wire newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning. I will say that the latter player is more consistent. Huge corner here. Dan Hanzus updates his Power Rankings, with movement up and down the board. If DT Jeffery Simmons eventually pans out, then Tennessee plucking him at 19th overall was a stealthy bargain. The Saints pass rush should have no problem at all getting to the quarterback. Holy crap, was his tape good. 16 overall) and an offensive tackle ( Greg Little at No. I think he was wearing one of those UNTUCKit shirts, designed for men who have an untucked lifestyle. Otherwise we could be looking at more home run games between the Saints and their opponents. (Don't bring up Limas Sweed.) Send your thoughts along: @HarrisonNFL is the place. The Titans' offense will fully welcome No. The story of the draft in Chiefsville unfortunately has little to do with the team's actual draft. Bradbury comes highly recommended for the middle of that line, while Smith's handiwork up front should assist what has been an on-again, off-again, off-again running game. Acquire the best linebacker in the 2019 draft in Devin White with the fifth overall pick. 33 overall) could finally balance the field playing opposite all-everything corner Patrick Peterson. 43) might have been a reach, but S Will Harris should serve to fix up Matt Patricia's secondary. Ferguson could have gone in the first round. 56 overall), who doubles up as instant offense in the return game. Bruce Arians and the brain trust went corner again in the third round ( Jamel Dean), when there were still a gaggle of running backs with upside on the board. 45 overall), a player cut from the Otis Smith mold -- he of the 2001 Pats team. Then again, Pittsburgh has, ahem, enjoyed a little success beyond the first round at wide receiver. We will see if that improves for this season. OK, but what good is owning draft capital if you aren't gonna use it? https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/27/2019-saints-defense-stats-team-history/, NFL insider Jay Glazer updates the Saints-Michael Thomas situation, Drew Brees is two touchdown passes away from breaking the all-time record again, Alvin Kamara is the NFL's scrimmage yards king through Week 7, Thomas Morstead pleased to spend a game day on the sidelines, WATCH: Teddy Bridgewater crashes in his old spot on the Saints bench, Your California Privacy Rights/Privacy Policy, 2019 Week 8 versus Arizona Cardinals, 31-9, 2019 Week 6 at Jacksonville Jaguars, 13-6, 2014 Week 3 versus Minnesota Vikings, 20-9, 2012 Week 15 versus  Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 41-0. 35 overall) -- without having to actually use two first-round picks was, if not sneaky, definitely slick. 63 overall) pans out, because the secondary has only been panned the last two years. Black jerseys, gold pants: 0-1... A few good plays can go a long way towards helping an NFL player's reputation, but consistently-strong performance can result in big bonuses in the offseason.

The moment was so special that former Chicago center Olin Kreutz donned a Hawaiian shirt to mark the occasion. Running the damn football. There's a shakeup at the top of Dan Hanzus' NFL Power Rankings after the Chiefs' dismantling of the Ravens. Devin Bush (No. The New Orleans offense has been one of the best over the last decade, and 2018 was no different. Every Raiders fan in the nation, from Las Vegas to Las Colinas and even the outer edges of Nova Scotia, couldn't stop talking about fourth-round tight end Foster Moreau. Mixed reviews on the Falcons' draft decisions, as not everyone was in like with the selection of Christopher Lindstrom at 14th overall. The browser you are using is no longer supported on this site. You see, no division has morphed more than this one over the last two years. If Ed Oliver turns out to be half the player Kyle Williams was, the Bills will be in fine shape come August.

Tytus sounds more like a centurion from Roman times than the guy who could prevent Houston from having to bus its battered quarterback to Jacksonville for football again, but hopefully the move works out for Bill O'Brien and Co. This Jadeveon Clowney*trade jazz* doesn't sound like the optimal company move, but whatever. Follow Elliot Harrison on Twitter @HarrisonNFL.

Boy, if Josh Oliver (No. Uh-oh.

Look out. 37) to plug holes. Ask any fan in Minnesota what they want this summer around training camp time, and they'll tell you: "An ice-cold beer." It’s certainly improved in recent years. The Saints have one of the league's best color palettes, embodied with a crisp set of uniforms and iconic jerseys. Eh, meh, uh ... LB Jahlani Tavai (No. And now they’re playing better than even the best performances we saw in 2017 or 2018. 15 overall), the Ohio State product who immediately provides hope on the quarterback front. Case Keenum can be the perfect bridge for the organization -- and the rookie's evolution -- by simply treating every game like it's part of the 2017 Divisional Round. That's what many New Orleans Saints players found out on Thursday when the NFL allocated its 2019 performance-based pay bonuses, which are distributed from funds gathered through both the collective bargaining agreement (for all eligible players, based off salary and snaps played) and from the NFL Players Association (for veterans with at least one accrued season under their belts). Sneaky draft for the Jags, who are set to wage war on the rest of the AFC South after a one-year hiatus from competitiveness (at least, we think it was merely a hiatus). The rest of the calls?

Any sort of injury in the secondary would put the Saints a peg below the rest of the NFC elite teams.

Which uniform combination benefited the Saints the most in 2019? Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram were one of the best duos in the backfield, combining for 20 total touchdowns. 100) to be Cam Newton's caddy, the Panthers decided on Christian Miller (No. (Although San Francisco's brain trust did dine with Quinnen Williams during the pre-draft process. On-point tweetage. The Lions took hold of the free agency period, giving their roster a pretty stiff jolt to contend in what has become a tight and stout NFC North. 2019 will likely not be any different either, barring a major injury on the offensive side. For perspective, they went into their game against the Arizona Cardinals having won just eight games since 2006 without allowing a touchdown. They also have a strong set of linebackers and Sheldon Rankins in the middle of the line.

78 overall) can do everything, which is why he started double-digit games at left tackle, left guard and center -- he can also show up to fix your cable in the first 20 minutes of that four-hour appointment window. Heard plenty of sports radio talk extolling the virtues of the Colts' newest wide receiver. 17 overall) and CB Deandre Baker (No.

Well, it looks like they dammed it up this year. The latter limited Alvin Kamara's touches while at Tennessee before transferring to Waco. 7 overall) and OT Jawaan Taylor (No. New York's defense allowed a river of points to flow to the other teams on the schedule last year. Tampa's supposed wants before the draft: CB, D-line, LB and RB. Wow.

* Call it a wonderful move for the future of the franchise and a terrifying move for the remainder of that sterling Seahawks 2013-14 nucleus. Third-rounder Diontae Johnson (No.

Whose prospect haul provides the biggest boost? Bunting's size (6-foot, 195 pounds) could be pivotal when he is on the point against large, accomplished receivers like Julio Jones and Michael Thomas in the NFC South. I don't think anyone realizes the madness of the salary cap era. But with the Cardinals on the clock first -- less than four months after they hired Kliff Kingsbury -- Kyler Murray was bound to be the first overall pick ... even though he wasn't the top overall prospect in the draft. A bit surprising, especially when you ponder the names that were in the 2019 class.

Mayock actually executes it in the draft, everyone's on the warpath. The Colts are pulling the slow-play routine, with Chris Ballard evolving into the Keith Sweat of GMs. Trading out of the first round reflected the patient approach of this franchise, while acquiring additional picks in the process represented yet more of the kind of pragmatism that pushed Indy -- unexpectedly, mind you -- to the playoffs last season. Think about that: This guy went 10th overall last year. Second opinion: That latter nickname is way better. Did anyone else notice that Carolina avoided taking even one wide receiver in the first two days of the draft? Uh, something like that, anyway. Your friendly writer is not one of them. The defensive end sacked Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray on Sunday, his eighth sack of the season and No. They allowed 8.1 yards per attempt, and only had 12 interceptions. Wideout Andy Isabella (No. OK, let's go to the Ravens' earlier third-round pick, Jaylon Ferguson. Please. NOTE: Team movement below reflects changes from the post-free agency Power Rankings.
