You guessed it, the New Orleans Saints need more help on defense.

And there are few more perfect to start anchoring down the Saints’ weak defense than Alabama inside linebacker Reuben Foster.

Top-10 ILBs are rare in the NFL Draft, but Foster is one of them. His converging and coverage skills make him a great fit against either the run or the pass. And New Orleans’ defense needs help in both areas this offseason.

Plus, Foster is the kind of player the Saints can build around in an attempt to get away from the league’s second-to-worst defense from 2016.
