The Saints drafted four players on Friday night, three on defense and one on offense. The lone player on offense is Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara, who can run and catch the ball out of the backfield.

New Orleans waited until their last pick of the night to select a pass rusher, Florida Atlantic defensive end Trey Henderickson, who had 29 sacks during his career with the Owls.
