3. Julian Blackmon
Julian Blackmon is perhaps the most overlooked of the Saints free agents, and it’s easy to see why. After establishing himself as an above-average starter during his five years with the Indianapolis Colts, Blackmon bet on himself and signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, injuries prevented him from resetting his market, as he suffered a season-ending torn labrum after just one game.
Blackmon is a good player when healthy, and his season-ending injury makes him the perfect target for another one-year, incentive-laden deal. New Orleans needs more depth in the secondary, and this pairing could be an ideal short-term match.
