The New Orleans Saints will hold their first 2011 draft meeting later this week with a plan to turn their full focus on that matter during the Senior Bowl later this month.

The game is scheduled for Jan. 29 in Mobile and the Saints, like every NFL team, will have scouts and assistants frisking around the proceedings leading up to the game. The meeting this week will be devoted to evaluating the Senior Bowl rosters, Coach Sean Payton said.
