New Orleans Saints attempting to move up into top 10 of NFL draft, sources say

METAIRIE, La. - New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has been talking to teams about moving up from pick No. 28 of the NFL draft into the top 10, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

A quarterback is not the Saints' primary target, according to sources, despite the fact that Drew Brees just announced his retirement last month. They actually have their sights on another position.

Coach Sean Payton singled out cornerback last week as a position New Orleans must "address between now and the start of the season." He also said quarterback is not a must since the team is high on starting candidates Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill.
