Saints trade back into 7th round, draft Mississippi State QB Tommy Stevens

I'm wondering who we stole him from...

Quote from Jeff Ireland:
“And then Tommy Stevens. He’s an interesting athlete. We felt like we might be able to get him in the free agency process, but we ended up finding out that we couldn’t. There’s an in-division rival that felt like they had him signed, sealed and delivered. Agent wasn’t really talking to us, so we just decided we’d just go take him from them. I’ll let Sean tell you the whole story, but there’s a little bit of competitive juices flying between me and Sean about, ‘We want this player. We’re not going to let anybody take him from us. We’re going to take him from them.’
