The New Orleans Saints set a precedent when they selected Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with the No. 15 pick of the NFL Draft on Thursday. Vaccaro is the first safety the Saints have selected in the first round in their 46-year draft history.

Of their previous 44 first-rounders, none was a safety.

Technically, Malcolm Jenkins, who the Saints took with the 14th pick of the first round in 2009, is also a safety. But he was a cornerback at Ohio State and played corner during his rookie season with the Saints.
