New Orleans Saints mock drafts 1.0: Tight ends, defensive ends high on list of needs

The first round of the New Orleans Saints mock drafts compiled by our NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune coverage team has come to a close, just in time for the start of the new NFL year and free agency Wednesday (March 14) at 3 p.m. Central.

Round 2 will get underway Friday (March 16).
