Marcell Dareus, our 132nd ranked defensive tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the New Orleans Saints because they could use a player of this quality to play defensive tackle. The Saints currently have 3 healthy defensive tackles, and 2 are rated better than Dareus: (David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle).
The Saints currently have no defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2026 season, so Dareus may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
