The New Orleans Saints have had the luxury of elite linebacker play over the past few years. Demario Davis has been a franchise cornerstone and Pete Werner has been a nice complement next to him. However, Davis is 37 years old and Werner’s time in New Orleans appears to be ending soon. Because of this, it would make sense to invest heavy draft capital towards Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles.
The 2026 NFL Draft has several talented linebackers towards the top of the draft board. However, none would fit the Saints better than Styles. He would come with a hefty price tag, a first round pick, but is well worth the cost.
