Official Saints Draft Day Thread
"Gentlemen, welcome to Radio City Music Hall, and welcome to the 2007 NFL Draft..."
With the Draft mere hours away, I wanted to create an official thread for all the Saints fans around the globe to discuss the day's festivities. I know I'm ready. I'm going to be watching the first day with diabsoule, with plenty of food and beer. Plus, he bought a bottle of champagne and I brought some stogies to celebrate a great day one when all is said and done. Here's hoping that everyone (yes, even you TPFKA#1SaintsFan) gets to watch the Draft and have fun waiting to see what direction the Saints go in...we are definitely in uncharted territory with being able to chose the best player available. *lifts glass* Here's to the Black and Gold! New Orleans -- victorious! Saints, fearless and bold! (just a little haiku toast I made up for our favorite team! :)) And of course... Who Dat? Who Dat? Who Dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints!? :D

I'm going to sit back and relax not worry about anything because I have full faith in what the staff and front office are doing. I don't think I could ever say that before..
what time do you think the Saints pick will be?

Way too late, Auron. I'm expecting your call today, SDP! I'm moving today so hopefully when the Saints pick I'll be at a television.

Hmm.. Aaron Ross is gone. Chris Houston is the only CB left with a 1st round grade in my book. Have a feeling he doesn't fall to us at #27. Harrell is also gone. We might end up with Greg Olsen or a WR.

3 picks from ours and Houston, Posluszny, Beason, Harris, Meachem, and Olsen are still on the board. I think we come away one of them. Alan Branch is there as well. I'm a bit iffy on him so I'm not sure if we should take him.

Panthers went Beason. I hope we don't take Olsen if he's there I don't think he's a bad player I just really don't want a TE this high.

We have the choice between these players:
Alan Branch Greg Olsen Robert Meachem Chris Houston Paul Posluszny This should be good! I'm hoping for Branch.

Quite a few options, Saints will choose whoever they have graded out the best.
My internet is picking a terrible time to start acting up. :(

Robert Meachem. Okay pick. Would have liked Alan Branch here though.

With the 27th overall pick the Saints select WR, Robert Meachem from Tennessee.
would've liked to see Defense preferably CB or LB, but Meachem was considered one of the top WR prospects. He could be our legitimate #2 guy opposite Colston.

Wasn't high on Branch at all. I'm happy with the pick... signing David allowed us to take the BPA (to us). Our offense just got a little better and WR was a need for us.
Brees/McAllister/Bush/Colston/Henderson/Cooper/Meachem/Johnson. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

Me too. I'm hoping for a CB in the 2nd rounds... don't think Chris Houston will fall to us, but I'd be happy with Eric Wright, McCauley, or Hughes.

Ouch the Falcons took Chris Houston. Well looks like he's the enemy now.
Can't wait to see Meachem run past him for a TD. :)

Houston completely made Meachem irrelevant when they played against each other. Payback time for Meach!
