METAIRIE, La. -- Identifying the New Orleans Saints' top need heading into this year’s NFL draft is easy. Sean Payton singled out cornerback last week as a position the Saints must "address between now and the start of the season." But finding the right fit with the 28th pick on Thursday night could prove a little more difficult. Of course the Saints could make an aggressive trade up the board -- which they have done a whopping 20 times in the past 14 drafts. But their eight picks this year are more precious than usual after Drew Brees’ retirement left them with a big question mark at QB and a salary-cap purge left them with holes at cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver, defensive line and tight end.
