Inside slant / Saints

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/report/NO/10805075

They did what they could in free agency, adding cornerback Randall Gay, defensive end Bobby McCray and linebacker Dan Morgan, while also trading for middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma.

But the Saints were looking for additional help early in the draft, so it was no big shock when they used their first two picks to add more quality players on the defensive side of the ball.

With the 10th pick in the first round, they targeted the defensive tackles at the top of most draft boards -- LSU's Glenn Dorsey, who grew up just 50 miles from New Orleans, and Southern California's Sedrick Ellis.

They proved how serious they were when they tried to climb up to the fifth spot to take Dorsey and, when that mission was aborted, they jumped up three spots and made Ellis the crown jewel of their draft class.
