Saints trade up with Pats at 28, grab Heisman winner

by Josh Deceuster

The Saints already stopped the fall of DE Cameron Jordan and they now have traded with the Pats for the 28th overall pick to grab RB Mark Ingram. Love both picks and looks like the Saints have upgraded big time on both sides of the ball

Remains to be seen what they gave up, but both players will be a big part of New Orleans for years to come.

Update: Saints traded a second-round (No. 56 overall) pick in the 2011 draft and a first-round pick in the 2012 draft to move up for Ingram.
