The Saints knew they needed defensive help but they reached a little bit in taking Usama Young who was expected to be selected in the 5th or 6th round according to most draft experts.  He is a four year starter at Kent State and he has a pretty good skill set, but he’s more likely to be a safety in the Pros.  He also is a great special teams player so he should help the Saints even if he isn’t starting.  In 45 games (40 starts) at Kent State, Young has made 198 tackles, broke up 21 passes, had 9 interceptions (71 return yards), forced 3 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles.  Young was a reach but he will help the Saints next season.
