Saints Trade Up To Select Chris Olave
3 years agoThe New Orleans Saints traded up with the Washington Commanders to select Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave with the 11th overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Commanders will move from No. 11 to No. 16 in the first round. That's back-to-back Ohio State receiving products in the 2022 draft. Olave is a track star with high-end speed that will give the Saints a deep target to pair with a healthy Michael Thomas returning this season. Olave cracked the Ohio State roster as a true freshman, and he had 35 career receiving touchdowns, an Ohio State record. Quarterback Jameis Winston could mesh nicely with Olave in his rookie season, giving him plenty of dynasty and deep-league appeal for fantasy managers.
