'Need' not necessarily New Orleans Saints' Day 2 draft strategy
Full Story – Nola.Com
Needs probably still exist within the roster of the New Orleans Saints when the team enters Rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL draft Friday afternoon despite drafting Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro in the first round. Coach Sean Payton won't look at Friday's session of the draft as filling a need as the team's top priority, though.
The Saints enter Day 2 of the NFL draft with one pick in the third round, No. 75 overall. New Orleans, of course, lost its second-round pick as a penalty connected to the Saints bounty scandal. Payton said during his Thursday night press conference that staying true to the draft board is a key element to the Saints' success in the next two days.
