BAYHAM: Mike Detillier’s Top Players by Position for the 2013 NFL Draft

Though we are still a week away from Super Bowl XLVII, it’s not too early to start looking at this year’s NFL draft, especially for the Black & Gold faithful coping with our team’s first non-playoff season since 2008.
WWL 870 AM commentator and college football expert Mike Detillier annually publishes one of the most comprehensive NFL draft reviews around, closely analyzing hundreds of players. In advance of the release of his 2013 NFL Draft breakdown, Detillier has shared his player rankings by position.
(Saints fans might want to pay extra attention to the outside linebacker, defensive tackle and safety categories.)
Detillier’s 2013 NFL Draft Guide can be pre-ordered on his website, mikedetillier.com.
