Another draft pick in for the New Orleans Saints, and another clear need filled.

Standout TCU running back Kendre Miller is headed to the Saints at No. 71. Miller racked up 1399 yards for the Horned Frogs as they made an unlikely run to the College Football Playoff Championship game.

In Miller's three seasons, Miller carried the ball 361 times for 2,410 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also caught 29 passes for another 229 yards and a touchdown.

The Saints also chose to stand pat with their first two picks as they added bulk to their defensive line with Clemson DT Bryan Bresee at No. 29, and Notre Dame standout Isaiah Foskey at No. 40. Barring a trade, the Saints won't be back on the clock until the 4th round at No. 115 overall.
