The Saints coveted running back Beanie Wells in last April's NFL Draft. "Beanie is someone we really liked coming out of Ohio State and we made a number of attempts, in fact, to try to trade back into Round 1 to select him," New Orleans coach Sean Payton said. "It's always interesting to see your grades, your grade on rookies, first- and second-year guys, to see how they go on and play. "He's certainly one of the young players that's going to have a great career in this league and is playing well already." Instead, Wells landed with the Cardinals, who lost to the Saints on Saturday in the divisional round of the postseason.
