The New Orleans Saints have traded with the New England Patriots to get the 61st overall pick and get back into the 2nd round. The Saints gave up their 3rd round pick (78th overall) and 4th round pick (112th overall) to make the move up. Typical Saints method of operation so can't say I'm surprised.
The Saints have used their second 2nd round pick to select safety Vonn Bell from Ohio State.
