New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints already have a collection of veteran talents at the cornerback position between Marhson Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins. However, Eli Apple has not been re-signed and it appears unlikely he will return to the team.
It’s important to note, Janoris Jenkins is set to turn 32-years-old during the upcoming season. Having a prospect from the 2020 NFL Draft like Travon Diggs would initiate a proactive approach to maintaining this position after parting ways with older options in the future.
There is also always a possibility of injuries occurring throughout the course of a season and at a pivotal position like cornerback, being prepared for that outcome is crucial. This is especially the case when a projected starter is already over 30.
