The New Orleans Saints traded up into the second round and picked former Ohio State safety Vonn Bell with the No. 61 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
The pick was the Saints' second in the second round, after they picked another former Buckeye -- receiver Michael Thomas -- earlier in the round.
The Saints gave the New England Patriots their third- and fourth-round picks in exchange for the second rounder.
Bell said the Saints worked him out at the Ohio State pro day, and he had dinner with coach Sean Payton that night.
"We kept in contact pretty close," said Bell, who added that he sent Payton additional video of workouts he did not complete at the pro day.
"I'm a man of my word and I followed up and I did what he asked me to do," Bell said.

Some
of the Saints fans sound like two jerks rolled up into one moron
sucking on Saints football suckers for pleasure. Please stop that, what
is wrong with you? Because the other team score just as fast as the Saints
score last year. What were you guys looking at?

The
Saints have declined on and off the football field with the help from
Goodall and their own bad choices. And why pass up LSU 4.3 LB (Deion Jones) before the Falcons picked him?

Give
up two picks for one? The real winner here is New England. You wonder
why they always have good teams, they have a lot of picks. We were
already down one, now it's two. Tisk, tisk.

So
we have no new G no new DE, we could of done with a DT but hey least we
have a new you for Drew Brees to throw too! Let's just hope he can get
it out to him fast enough before he's sacked

Line is fine with Armstead, Peat, Lelito, Kelemete, Strief, Unger and
at least two more to come in free agency (one tomorrow), waiver wire, or
last year's practice squad. We are just fine and Drew will be upright
like he was most of this year.

No
it's not, we will see what Von Miller and Khalil Mack do against this
line not to mention they're bad at opening running lanes

@Serg94 Khalil Mack and Von Miller destroy every line
