NFL Network’s Peter Schrager has seemed to hone in on one selection for the New Orleans Saints at No. 19 overall, selecting the same player in his last two mock drafts. Schrager’s mock drafts are known to not be what he thinks of certain players, but instead based on what he has heard from sources around the league. So maybe there’s something to this.
During both his April 7 mock draft 1.0 and updated April 19 mock draft 2.0 Schrager has projected Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Jordan Davis at to the Saints at No. 19. Davis is listed as the 18th overall prospect on my 2022 big board.
Davis was an interior lineman at Georgia that struggled to stay on the field, playing at 360 pounds. He averaged fewer than 24 snaps per game during his Bulldogs career. He then dropped major weight, showed up at the NFL scouting combine at a svelte 340 pounds, and then achieved one of the most athletic performances of all time. He posted a perfect 10.0 RAS score, which he know lines up with what New Orleans values.
