player. 15. <p>With quarterback Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton, we know what the New Orleans Saints offense is. But if the team is going to go anywhere, they need to improve on defense. They no longer have fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan likes to blame.</p>
<p>So whoever the defensive coordinator is next year, they need better personnel. The Saints majorly addressed their defensive front-7 in the draft this past offseason. What they need now is to address their back-end with a solid corner.</p>
<p>Right now, the Saints are ranked No. 31 against the pass while giving up a 116.6 QB rating. Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, and now Jameis Winston are playing against that defense. Not to mention the big, fast, high jumping receivers at their disposals.</p>
<p>So the Saints should spend their No. 7 overall pick Vernon Hargreaves. The scouting media sees him as the next shut-down corner. They call him the most polished corner in the 2016 NFL Draft and also compare him to Joe Haden of the Browns.</p>. CB. Florida. Vernon Hargreaves. 7
