The Saints continued their solid draft on Sunday adding solid prospects in the later rounds. Early in round 5, the Saints traded up 2 spots (skipping the Bengals again) to select NC State DT DeMario Pressley. Pressley had an injury-prone career at NC State but had the talent to be taken much higher. With the [...]

The Saints chose CB Tracy Porter from Indiana University with the 40th selection in the draft. Porter had a very solid career at Indiana, recording 16 interceptions. Porter is known as a ball-hawk and should add solid depth in the secondary.
The saints corners now include: Mike McKenzie, Randall Gay, Jason David, Usama Young, Aaron Glenn [...]

I suggested earlier this morning that I could see a scenario in which the Saints trade up a few spots and select USC DT Sedrick Ellis. Sure enough after a botched attempt to trade up with the Chiefs to select Glenn Dorsey, the Saints and Patriots agreed to a trade that allowed the Saints to [...]

The day we have all been waiting for has arrived. And boy it seems like this day won’t let us Saints fans down with suspense and excitement. The real question is what will the Saints do? They have upped their offer for TE Jeremy Shockey but at the same time they have offered one of [...]

Pete Prisco, of CBSSports.com, is reporting that the Saints are using pro-bowl LT Jammal Brown as bait for a chance to move up and select LSU DT Glenn Dorsey. Wow. Brown, the 13th overall pick in 2005, has blocked Drew Brees‘ blindside remarkably the past two seasons.
This seems mind-boggling. Brown has had a history of [...]

The Dolphins have a deal in place with Long and will make him the top pick in the draft.

2. St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long, Virginia

The son of hall-of-famer Howie Long, Chris is very solid in his own right. Teaming him with last seasons standout [...]

With the 2008 draft nearing, the Saints have many options with the 10th pick overall. The Saints draft philosophy in the first round has been to take the best player available. The Saints have upgraded their entire defensive unit this offseason so it should be their mindset to take the best defensive player on the [...]

A common thought in the minds of some Saints fans is to deem first-round WR Robert Meachem a bust after not playing a single down in the 2007 season. The gifted receiver missed most of training camp with a knee injury and failed to make up for it to earn playing time during the season [...]
