2020 NFL Draft: Roberts’ preseason mock draft
By Ryan Roberts
The Drew Brees era in New Orleans is beginning to wind down, possibly ending as early as the end of the 2019 season. The future will have to be addressed very soon.
Luckily for the Saints, Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm has managed to fall to them in this scenario. Which would be the dream scenario for New Orleans. Fromm is a super consistent passer who would work well apart of the Saints experienced roster that is still in win-now mode.
Fromm is a very intriguing option for a team that boasts playmakers like Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook.
Former Miami Dolphins running back Damien Williams did an admirable job filling in for Kareem Hunt after his suspension. So much so that they have decided to give him an opportunity in 2019 to prove he can serve as the lead back for arguably the most explosive offense in the NFL.
We will see how that opportunity shakes out for Williams, but Clemson running back Travis Etienne was just too good of a player to pass up at the juncture of the first round. As a big-play threat waiting to happen, Etienne presents a fun option for head coach Andy Reid to get creative with.
