Saints trade up, select Chris Olave eleventh overall
The New Orleans Saints selected Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave with the eleventh overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
What It Means:
The Saints traded up with the Washington Commanders to select Olave with the eleventh selection in Thursday's draft. Olave will join a Saints offense with question marks at quarterback following Jameis Winston's season-ending injury last year.
In 38 games for Ohio State over four seasons, Olave caught 175 passes for 2,702 yards and 35 touchdowns.
