Thompkins is a significant riser who fits Saints' pick 12 with elite versatility.

Alabama EDGE Devan Thompkins is a significant riser throughout the year and could be the selection at pick 12 for the Saints. He measures 6-foot-5, 300 lbs, is very athletic with standout strength, and has been productive this season. His versatility is what makes him special—he is the perfect 3-4 DE but can easily fit in as a DT or EDGE in a 4-3 alignment. If Brandon Staley remains as Saints head coach, Thompkins would be the perfect player to pair with Chase Young and Carl Granderson. Even if there is a new staff, Thompkins would still be an excellent pick for New Orleans and could be the future at EDGE for the Saints.
