Mike Florio breaks down where Alvin Kamara stands, given his pending felony charges after an incident at the Pro Bowl, and describes how the suspension process could play out.

The Saints wrapped up their draft class signings just in time for rookies to report to training camp.

Second-round choice Alontae Taylor signed his contract Tuesday, via a photo tweeted by Nick Underhill of neworleans.football. The Saints previously signed first-round selections Chris Olave and Trevor Penning, fifth-rounder D’Marco Jackson and sixth-rounder Jordan Jackson.

Taylor was one of 10 unsigned second-round picks in the league.

The Saints drafted the cornerback with the 49th overall selection. He joins a roster that includes Bradley Roby, Marshon Lattimore, P.J. Williams and Paulson Adebo, among others, at the position.

Taylor originally was a receiver who converted to defensive back while at the University of Tennessee. He totaled 162 tackles, four interceptions and 15 pass breakups in his four-year career in Knoxville.
