The New Orleans Saints traded yet again on Friday night, picking Dayton tight end Adam Trautman at No. 105.

The Minnesota Vikings originally had the No. 105 pick before the Saints traded with their wild-card foe from last season.

With the trade, the Saints gave their fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh round picks to to Minnesota to draft the FCS tight end.

Trautman had 70 catches for 916 yards with 14 touchdowns last season.

ESPN's Louis Riddick said, "I'm shocked to see him still on the board," when the Saints picked him up.

The Saints have drafted one Flyer before: tackle Tom Stangle in the fourth round in 1967.

Trautman was the second third-round pick for the Saints on Friday, as the team selected Wisconsin linebacker Zack Baun with the No. 74 pick.

Kid is really good. I can’t wait to see him, cook, MT and sanders on the field with AK going out of the backfield

This might be a good pick, Jimmy Graham 2.0, but kind of crushed we traded the rest of our draft. How did we come out of this draft without a WR? Ugh!!! We need to trade Warford or something and get back in and get a wideout!

Because Payton never drafts WR's anymore. We've needed one for years and he just ignores it.

Fine with trading late picks for what looks like a young Jason Whitten.

It’s not like our roster has enough holes that late rounders would make the team...

For what it’s worth, all of the draft analysts seem to love the pick.
