NO Saints keep moving on in post-draft

The New Orleans Saints seem still far from satisfied when the 2010 NFL draft ended on Saturday afternoon, as there are still a few positions in need of help. Therefore, the defending champion team of this season made quick move to the post-draft market and picked as many as 14 more new players from the undrafted free agents.

As we have expected, the Saints feel urgent need of good linebackers and running backs, so the post-draft signing featured the addition of two linebackers, Harry Coleman from LSU and Jason Beauchamp from UNLV, and three running backs, Christian Ducre from Mississippi, Carlos Brown and Chris Ivory from Michigan. The other nine newly signed free agents include Vanderbilt safety Ryan Hamilton, Jackson State cornerback Marcell Young, East Carolina defensive tackle Jay Ross, Stillman defensive end Junior Galette, Texas Tech defensive end Brandon Sharpe, Norfolk State wide receiver Chris Bell, Texas Tech guard Brandon Carter, Indiana guard Joe Tonga and TCU long snapper Clint Gresham.

All these undrafted free agents will put on Saints jerseys next week to join the other rookies who were picked from the draft at a rookie camp. There will also a number of other free agents from last year’s draft or being cut by other teams to participate in the camp with efforts to impress Saints coaches for a possible job with the team.
