FILE - In this May 23, 2019, file photo, New Orleans Saints rookie center Erik McCoy (78) talks with offensive line coach Dan Roushar during NFL football practice in Metairie, La. Saints coach Sean Payton stopped short of declaring top draft choice McCoy the starting center in the preseason opener. Yet, if recent practices are any indication, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound rookie out of Texas A&M has as good a chance as anyone to open the season snapping the ball to 40-year-old, record-setting quarterback Drew Brees.

The Saints have no time to waste if they want to win another Super Bowl with record-setting quarterback Drew Brees under center _ which is why three of their top four 2019 draft slots have already been traded away. The Saints aren’t slated to pick until late in the second round _ 62nd overall _ because they largely mortgaged the top of this year’s draft in hopes of winning it all last season. (AP Photo/David J.
