The first round of the 2020 NFL Draft wrapped up with a few big shocks, with the New Orleans Saints catching many fans off guard by picking Michigan prospect Cesar Ruiz at No. 24 overall.
Rounds two and three might contain even more surprises. The clock starts at 6 p.m. CT (with the broadcast again on ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network), but the Saints are not slotted in until No. 88 — late in the third round.
Considering their obvious need at linebacker and room for improvement at wide receiver and cornerback, it might be wise for the Saints to target one of the best available prospects in a trade up.
Here’s how the first round of picks shook out:
