Round 2, No. 42: Marcus Williams, S, Utah

My take: It’s too bad the Saints weren’t able to find a pass-rusher with their top three picks in this draft. That remains their most glaring need after they added just one rotational DE in Alex Okafor during free agency. But I can’t blame the Saints for staying true to their draft board -- and Williams is absolutely a worthy selection at No. 42 who fills a need for a pass defense that ranked 32nd in the NFL last year.
The Saints added another defensive back to its draft class in safety Marcus Williams.

The 6-foot-1, 202-pounder said he takes pride in forcing turnovers, which he did at a high rate in college (10 interceptions over the past two years, four forced fumbles in three years). He mostly played single-high safety and "center field," but he occasionally played down closer to the line of scrimmage. And the Saints will have the luxury of finding a role that fits him since they’re deep at safety now with veterans Kenny Vaccaro and Rafael Bush and last year’s second-round pick, Vonn Bell.

The best-case scenario? As WWL Radio analyst and former Saints running back Deuce McAllister said, “He could be what they thought [Jairus] Byrd would be.”

CHAMPIONSHIP!

What did I tell you about Payton last night?

C'mon, Bro, it's done. We gotta get pumped for this...

Besides, You know Payton, he'd rather have the peg-legged midget for a lap dance than Maryann the country girl just off the bus...

Payton just likes self-handicapping his teams rather than letting somebody capable like Ireland get the talent...

Total guess on my part, but I'd bet Tanoh Kpassagnon was the guy #Saints wanted to trade up for.Fletcher Mackel added,

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
The #Saints are trying to trade up from the third round, floating a third-rounder AND a 2nd rounder next year. Looking for an edge rusher.
