12. New Orleans Saints: Jarran Reed, defensive tackle, Alabama 

Finley says: New Orleans was a mess defensively in 2015, allowing 2,076 rushing yards and an NFL-worst 4.9 yards per attempt on the way to a 7-9 record. Alabama’s Reed isn’t flashy, but he’s strong — and should slot in nicely at either defensive tackle or defensive end. The 6-foot-3-inch, 307-pound Reed is a good value — and a good fit — at No. 12.
