What are the chances of the saints getting......

 

The Jets 4, 29, or 4, 35

 

or......

 

The Packers 5, 36 + Walker or 5, 67 + Walker

Who do the Saints want now? Gotta be Reggie right?

[nobody 2,674]

I actually read on this site somewhere that Reggie Bush graded out higher than any player they've ever scouted. I still think they trade out to the Jets or the Packers.

Sean Payton was just on WWL (Saints flagship) in New Orleans. Said Reggie Bush is the Saints pick. He gave no hint of any deals working.

 

Gotta believe he just ain't talkin. Saints are in all likelyhood shopping the pick for a windfall as most believe they are.

Alright FALCONS FANS! Who do we take in round 2? I would like for someone like Ko Simpson or Maurice Drew at that spot. I'm also holdling out hope that the Falcons can swing a really good deal for Schaub.

[nobody 2,674]

Looks like the Saints might get a crack at Winston Justice at 34. That would be pretty great. Then they could draft Dominique Byrd in the 3rd and have all the Trojans.

[nobody 2,674]

Saints have 4 choices here.

 

Winston Justice

Eric Winston

Dqwell Jackson

Marcus McNeil

Or, trade out

Jimmy Williams

 

Originally projected in the top 15.

Its like they never lost their 1st round pick.

That's exactly what my dad said when I just called him. That's who they were targetting a few months ago before the Abraham deal went down.

 

I'm pretty happy with this (assuming we didn't give up too much). Abraham and Williams will upgrade the defense greatly.

I figured it was Jimmy, but also wondered if the Duckett experiment might be over instead.

Just friggin slightly. Hope Jimmy is up to the task of chasing Bush around the field.

So Atl has Deangelo, Ty Hill and Williams at CB?

I think they'll definitely take a RB in this draft; I still think it'll be Maurice Drew if he's available later on.

Ty went to St Louis

Ty went to St Louis

 

Tye

Wow. Roman Harper to the Saints in the 2nd. I had him available to mah Panthers in round 3. A good pick but maybe a round too early.

[nobody 2,674]

And they don't have a third round selection, so that's pretty much it.

What did the Saints get to drop down 9 spots. To not take Winston or McNeil here to help out that o-line is just crazy. Brees needs protection.

[Grizzly 0]

New Orleans got Jeff Faine a center a first rounder in 2003.

So they lose Probowler Bentley to CLE. Now we get their backup to go up in the draft. Great!

[bigmarc27 24]

Jerious Norwood.

 

He'll have a very good shot at #2 right now; Duckett might not make it to the start of the season. This very well could be Atlanta's starting RB opening day in '07 since Dunn's contract gets way too expensive after this year.

[Wildman 0]

Yep, sweet pick here. I thought he was overvalued as a possible late first-mid-second pick, but this is different.

[football_scooter 0]

Surprised to see the 'Aints without their own topic considering that's where Bush went....McAllister dynasty owners just collectively sh!t themselves.

[The_Future25 0]

Not a bad Draft for ATL....Im very pleased...

 

1. John Abraham DE

2. Jimmy williams DB

3. Jerious Norwood RB

4. Chris Crocker FS

5. Quinn Ojinnaka OT

6. Adam Jennings WR

7. Dj Shockley QB
