Saints beat writer Mike Triplett believes that coach Sean Payton's interest in Ohio State RB Beanie Wells is "bona fide" and "not a smokescreen."
Triplett also calls tailback one of the Saints' three biggest needs, along with outside linebacker and safety. New Orleans picks 14th and we suspect Wells will be there. The Saints have no second-round pick, however, and it would be surprising if they drafted offense with their only first-day choice.
