Iowa Tight End In New Orleans For Top-30 Visit With Saints

In this story:
The Saints are hosting Iowa Hawkeyes tight end Erick All on a Top-30 visit on Friday, a source told Saints News Network. He recently visited the Bengals and Browns, and has drawn interest from several teams across the league.
All is a very intriguing player to watch in this draft. He has some really appealing athletic traits and an ability to be a threat in the passing game. His medicals will be the biggest thing that will determine where he goes, as he's appeared in just 10 games over the past two seasons. This past season's injury was an ACL, while the year prior to that was a back injury. All projects as a Day 3 pick, and the amount of teams interested in him makes you wonder where exactly he'll go.

New Orleans could use a tight end, and we looked at this recently. It might seem like a luxury pick, but it could honestly be viewed as a necessity. The Top-30 visits definitely give teams a better idea where a draft prospect is at in terms of their medical checks, so All is someone to at least keep on your radar.
