Should The Saints Draft Edge Rusher In The First Round? | Mock Draft Breakdown

On The Hunt Palmer Show, we’ve spent all week breaking down potential offensive additions for the New Orleans Saints — from wide receivers like Makai Lemon and Jordyn Tyson to big-name running back options in free agency. But what if the Saints flip the script and go defense with their first-round pick? A new mock draft links Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell to New Orleans, and his production jumps off the page — 15.5 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss over the last two seasons. The question becomes: is elite college production enough to overlook concerns about size and age? We dive deep into Howell’s scouting profile, how he would fit alongside Chase Young and Carl Granderson, and what this means for Cam Jordan’s future. Is edge rusher a playoff-winning position the Saints must invest in now? Or should offense still be the priority to support Tyler Shough and elevate the passing game? We also debate why finding elite pass rushers outside the early rounds is so rare compared to wide receivers — and why the draft might be the Saints’ best (and cheapest) opportunity to secure their next impact defender. If the Saints are serious about winning playoff games and pressuring elite quarterbacks, this decision could define their draft. Let’s break it all down.
