The New Orleans Saints were able to hold off on drafting one too early, but with the 78th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, they selected Florida State cornerback P.J. Williams.
A dangerous secondary is brewing down on the bayou, and taking the former Seminole just adds to the depth they already have in the Big Easy. Keenan Lewis and Brandon Browner have the starting spots on lock, but some competition with Kyle Wilson, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Delvin Breaux and more make for a big training camp for Williams.
Fans, media and players took to Twitter and reacted to the New Orleans Saints’ third-round pick.

What is your reaction, Saints fans? Do you agree with the P.J. Williams selection? He’s a great value pick in the third round with a very high ceiling at the next level.
