The Saints finally found their compliment to Michael Thomas by signing free agent wideout Emmanuel Sanders, but he’s just a two-year rental in the grand scheme of things. With Drew Brees closer to riding off into the sunset than ever before (he does have a job with NBC Sports waiting on him now), the Saints should surround him with more weapons than ever before while laying the groundwork for their next quarterback to build off of.

Three prospects to know:

  • Justin Jefferson, LSU
  • Jalen Reagor, TCU
  • Sleeper: Collin Johnson, Texas
