New Orleans Saints Draft Preview: Projecting the 24th overall pick
Right about this time tomorrow, the New Orleans Saints will be on the clock. What they do with that 24th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is still a mystery.
One popular name being thrown around is LSU linebacker Patrick Queen, who is a repeat offender on several mock drafts as a first round selection of the Saints.
Former teammate Joe Burrow and that LSU offense stole a lot of the limelight on their way to winning a national championship, but you know what they say about defense and championships.
In 2019, Queen was third on the team with 85 total tackles and was second on the team with 12 tackles for loss.
WWL Radio College and Professional Football Analyst Mike Detillier says watch out for number eight. “I think it’s a strong possibility. You look at all the guys’ draft projections, he was a junior coming out but I don’t think anybody saw that last six or seven games for Patrick and what he was able to do. He was a tilt the field guy and I think there’s only two guys in this draft class that can do what Queen’s able to do in that they’re versatile, they can play at weak side, they can play in the middle. I think he’s a 20s pick in round one and he may well end up in New Orleans.”
The Saints will operate their draft day war room from Dixie Brewing Company owned by Saints Owner Gayle Benson. The first ever virtual draft starts at 7 p.m. tomorrow night.
