12. player. 15. All this talk about head coach Sean Payton getting traded makes no sense at all. What the Saints need is a defense to complement the offense and it looks like it’s getting better. Getting 2016 first-round DT Sheldon Rankins healthy and playing has made a difference. <p>He’s already taking double-teams and triple teams in order for his teammates to make plays. And of course Cameron Jordan is doing his thing off the edge for the Saints. Getting Hau’Oli Kikaha back healthy next year to come off the edge will help the defensive front-seven too.</p> <p>What the Saints need is a leader on that defense the way the offense has quarterback Drew Brees. So here at No. 12 overall, the Saints take ILB Reuben Foster to bring it all together. Foster will establish a physical presence inside as a take on linebacker that sheds blocks well.</p> <p>But he also has the athleticism to go sideline to sideline and cover backs and tight ends. The Saints would have a much better defensive unit right away with Foster as the leader of it. Then they would make the NFC South a tough division, adding another team with a chance to win it.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster
