24. New Orleans Saints: Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois

 

Not only is Corey Liuget the best player left on the board, he fills a need, significantly improving depth at the defensive tackle position. On top of that, he's a high character player that's very intelligent, and that's exactly the prototype of player that Sean Payton looks for. Liuget is a perfect fit for the team both in the locker room and on the field. He also has a good explosive first step to help improve the Saints' front four pass rush which is currently a liability. While the team would love to draft an impact runner, linebacker or pure pass rusher over a defensive tackle in the 1st round - the Saints have proven every time in the Sean Payton era that they will sacrifice need and instead remain committed to staying true to their board.
