High praise for New Orleans Saints second-round selection Pete Werner from VP/Assistant GM of College Personnel in The Athletic's piece by Jeff Duncan. In today's Locked On Saints, we cover what the Saints like about Werner, where they believe he can play, and how soon they believe he can see the field. Then, a deep dive into an undervalued asset Werner brings with him to the NFL. As a pressure player from the second level, Werner is excellent. Here are the numbers to back up his production and why it's important for New Orleans who relied on Kwon Alexander and Alex Anzalone quite a bit in the pressure game last season. Twitter Tuesday asks Saints fans for the Saints' biggest remaining need heading into the 2021 season. Some expected questions marks remain on the defensive side, but is it really the most important position on the offseason that fans are most uneasy about?
