Saints Draft Utah S Marcus Williams in 2nd round

The Saints continue to ignore their pass rushing needs and passing on Jordan Willis and Carl Lawson both at 42 was a head scratcher for me. But safety is a need and Marcus Williams is a good one, so the pick is solid. Williams is a center field playmaker that allows Vonn Bell and Kenny Vaccaro to play closer to the line of scrimmage and do what they do best. Williams is undeniably a Jairus Byrd replacement. Of the 3 picks so far one things is clear – the Saints have taken really good football players with impeccable tape.
