Sean Payton: We need to draft defenders who play right away
The Saints own a pair of first-round picks after trading tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks and they have five picks overall in the first three rounds, which puts them in position to add some talent to the roster after a 7-9 season.
During an interview with WWL on Wednesday, coach Sean Payton gave some hints about what kind of talent the team was hoping to acquire.

Defenders. Offensive players. A kicker. All COULD play right away.

Either this is a smoke screen by Payton or we plan to draft Collins, Scherff, Shelton or Beasley (trade up scenario) right away.
I'm my opinion, these are Pro ready players. |

Re: Sean Payton: We need to draft defenders who play right away
Well,with Seans comment, Im assuming we're going offense in the first...or unless he wants other teams to think that and we go defense....or unless he knows other teams will know his mind games and assume we go defense,but in actuality we go offense. Who knows?
