Football <\/p>\n
As always, the last weekend of college football will have major implications for the postseason ahead. The new 12-team playoff only raises the stakes. <\/p>\n
With just six more weekends of the NFL regular season left, the New Orleans Saints<\/a> have shown clear needs to fill in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/a>. Here are four prospects that Saints fans should watch this weekend. <\/p>\n NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 1st – Mid<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Emmanwori has been one of the SEC\u2019s top defensive backs all season, and he\u2019s earned his spot as the second highest-ranked safety in the draft. The Saints could use help as safety after failing to make an offseason signing this summer. He already has four interceptions this year and will need to continue his lockdown defense against the Clemson Tigers<\/a> on Saturday. <\/p>\n NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 2nd – Mid<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Offensive guard has been one of New Orleans\u2019 biggest weaknesses this season. Campbell is a second-round prospect that could be a starter on day one. He\u2019s an elite run-blocker and could bring back consistency to any NFL team\u2019s run game if properly developed. The Longhorns have a massive game against the Texas A&M Aggies<\/a>, and Campbell will need to give quarterback Quinn Ewers ample time to pick apart a spotty Aggie defense. <\/p>\n NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 2nd – Mid<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Mullings is a top-five running back prospect who could be available in the second round for New Orleans. He\u2019s a classic workhorse back who excels in short-yardage opportunities but can still break free and win with agility. Adding depth to the running back room could be a successful strategy for New Orleans, a team that does not have a solid running back room besides Alvin Kamara. <\/p>\n NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 2nd – Mid<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Sonny Styles is an elite, physical cornerback who is one of the best tackling defensive backs in next year\u2019s draft. He currently has 32 tackles and four sacks this season but has also been essential to Ohio State<\/a>\u2019s staunch pass defense. The Saints need depth at cornerback, and perhaps Styles is the next man up in New Orleans.<\/p>\n Make sure you follow Canal Street Chronicles on Twitter at @SaintsCSC, \u201cLike\u201d us on Facebook at Canal Street Chronicles, and make sure you\u2019re subscribed to our YouTube channel.
