NFL Draft 2021: Night 1 open thread

The New Orleans Saints are set to begin a crucial draft to begin the post-Drew Brees era in the Crescent City. They are slotted to pick at number 28 as of this moment and we will see if they stand pat, move ahead, or fall back. This, of course, all adds to the drama that is the NFL Draft. Hopefully the Saints start this draft with a fantastic pick tonight.
