Devin Neal

ANALYSIS
Few would have found it shocking if Neal had gone as early as the third round, so in the sixth round he could prove a bargain for the Saints. The former Kansas star would ideally be a little more heavy (5-foot-11, 213 pounds) and would ideally have a little more speed (4.58-second 40-yard dash), but Neal's collegiate production was convincing on the question of his skill set. Neal really knows how to play, be it on running and passing downs, and if he gets his foot into the door history says he might be tough to put back on the bench. Neal might supplant Kendre Miller on the depth chart if Miller can't improve in his third year, though Neal is likely no threat to Alvin Kamara's usage.

ANALYSIS
Neal was expected to be an early Day 3 selection, but he slid all the way down to the sixth round before being scooped up by the Saints with the 184th pick. As a four-year starter at Kansas, Neal broke the school's records with 4,343 rushing yards, 49 rushing touchdowns and 53 total touchdowns. He doesn't have blazing speed, but he's a patient runner who has the vision to read defenses on the fly to find gaps to run through. Given Miller's injury history and lack of production when healthy, Neal has a strong chance to establish himself as New Orleans' RB2 behind Kamara heading into the regular season.
