Saints trade up 14 spots, draft Texas A&M center Erik McCoy

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — The New Orleans Saints have traded up 14 spots in the second round of the NFL draft to take Texas A&M center Erik McCoy with the 48th overall pick they received from Miami.
The decision Friday night to take the 6-foot-4, 303-pound McCoy comes after 2018 Pro Bowl center Max Unger’s recent decision to retire.
The pick also comes despite the signing of free-agent center Nick Easton, who started 12 games at center for Minnesota in 2017 but missed all of last seas
