NFL draft 2014: Saints aren't scared by draftees' injuries



METAIRIE, La. — Khairi Fortt, Vinnie Sunseri and Ronald Powell all had major injuries in college, likely hurting their chances of climbing any higher on NFL draft boards than they did.
Still, all three defensive players gave the New Orleans Saints the impression that they had a lot of upside.


"We don't have a set formula for that," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said as the draft wound down Saturday. "Sometimes we're weighing the injury against where the player would be drafted if not for the injury — if we think there's a great value there."
The Saints took Fortt, a linebacker out of California, in the fourth round, then used a pair of fifth-round picks on Sunseri, a safety from Alabama, and Powell, an outside linebacker from Florida.
New Orleans then added an offensive lineman in the sixth round, picking 6-foot-5, 280-pound Kansas State tackle Tavon Rooks.
