*Trade* <st1:city><st1>New Orleans</st1></st1:city> trades 2[42], 3[74] and 5[2009] to <st1:city><st1>Seattle</st1></st1:city> for 1[25].

1[10] LB Keith Rivers [USC]
<o></o>
Rivers has taken a very solid career at USC and added it to a very good offseason. His recent proday [4.5 40] and 42” vertical showed the athletic ability that we all new he had. But it is the leadership and toughness that make Rivers to hard to pass up. With Vilma manning the middle Rivers can use his speed to run free and make plays. Welcome to the Dome Patrol 2.0.

1[25] DT Kentwan Balmer [UNC]
<o></o>
The jury is split on Balmer. He has all the physical skills that you look for good, but not great, burst and elite size. At his pro day he looked like a young Carl Weathers showing that many people’s “John Sullivan Syndrome” fears are unwarranted. But with his elite physical tools he only had one year of production. He is a great value this late and adds youth and ability to the Saints weakest position.

5. C Cody Wallace [<st1:state><st1>Texas</st1></st1:state> A&M]
<o></o>
With Jeff Faine getting 37 million dollars to back pedal while run blocking the Saints need to add depth behind Jonathan Goodwin. Wallace needs to add strength but he has the size to come in at backup.

6. S Jonathan Hefney [<st1:state><st1>Tennessee</st1></st1:state>]
<o></o>
Hefney is small at 5’7” 190lbs. but he covers a lot of ground and can play CB. The Saints need bodies at FS.

7. TE Cole Bennett [<st1:city><st1>Auburn</st1></st1:city>]
<o></o>
A big bruising SEC TE who can fill the role of TE in the run game.
