The New Orleans Saints have selected LB Pete Werner with the No. 60 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact:

The senior linebacker out of Ohio State gets the opportunity to play alongside Saints' Pro-Bowl linebacker DeMario Davis, bringing quite a bit of experience with 35 starts for the Buckeyes. Werner led the team with 54 tackles in 2020, finishing his collegiate career with 185 tackles, 16 TFLs, and four sacks. He will be a great asset for New Orleans to develop into a middle linebacker, with sure tackling and deceptive speed in open space.
