K Taylor Mehlhaff newest draft pick to agree to terms

Training camp is right around the corner and the Saints are starting to ramp up their rookie contract talks.

The team nailed down its second draft pick today as sixth-round pick kicker Taylor Mehlhaff agreed to a three-year deal, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Mehlhaff will compete with veteran kicker Martin Gramatica once training camp commences Thursday at Millsaps College in Jackson. The left-footed kicking Mehlhaff was the first kicker taken in the 2008 draft.

The Saints still have four draft picks left unsigned - defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, cornerback Tracy Porter, offensive lineman Carl Nicks and wide receiver Adrian Arrington.
