Saints: Cam Jordan's Mock Draft
Cam Jordan, the leader and defensive end of the Saints, gave fans his professional insight by posting a mock draft for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. Interestingly, Cam is following the conventional wisdom for New Orleans to choose a defensive tackle to pair with him along the line.
In his mock draft, two trades were proposed either by Jordan or the computer simulation. The first trade involved the Saints moving down from No. 29 to No. 31 and receiving the No. 95 pick from the Kansas City Chiefs. Allowing KC to select Oklahoma tackle Anton Harrison, while New Orleans obtained the defensive tackle from Pittsburgh, Calijah Kancey.
Later, the Saints swapped picks No. 74 and No. 140 to the Browns for picks No. 71 and No. 227.
