24. New Orleans Saints
Cesar Ruiz | OL | Michigan
This is an intriguing selection. I love the player, as Ruiz was ranked No. 16 overall on my board, but I wonder how he fits the Saints’ plans, considering they just spent a second-round pick on Erik McCoy last year.
As a prospect, there’s plenty to like about Ruiz. He’s athletic and physical, with the intelligence every NFL coach and quarterback needs at his position. He’s also just 20 years old, giving him limitless upside.
He has experience at guard, so he could start his career there in New Orleans. No matter where he lines up, he’s going to be a fantastic addition to this offense.
