NFL Draft Results: Saints Fans React to Vonn Bell Selection

In case you missed it, the New Orleans Saints opted to take Vonn Bell from Ohio St. with their second 2nd round pick on the night, after trading their 3rd and 4th round picks with New England for the 61st overall pick. Fans were caught off-guard by the trade, but the Saints were able to address a need at the cornerback spot. Here are the highlights.
