Could the New Orleans Saints draft a former Heisman Trophy winner with their first-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft?

The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner, Jackson threw for 3,543 yards and 30 touchdowns, while rushing for another 1,571 yards and 21 scores that historic season.
Last season, as a junior, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Jackson passed for 3,660 yards and 27 touchdowns, while rushing for another 1,601 yards and 18 touchdowns.
The Saints have the 27th pick in the first-round of the draft.
