The New Orleans Saints finally addressed the linebacker position, and of course they would do so by selecting a player from Ohio State. The Saints added THE Ohio State University linebacker Pete Werner with the 60th overall pick.
From Land-Grant Holy Land:
Joining Browning at linebacker is Pete Werner, who was the most consistent Buckeye over the last few years. Over the last three years, Werner recorded at least 50 tackles in each of those seasons. While Browning undoubtedly has more athletic ability between the linebackers, Werner is a coaches dream because of the fundamentals and leadership he displays on the field.
