Saints' draft picks' highlights
Some highlights nola.com put together of the Saints' draft picks.

Sharper turned down more money
5Looks like he really wanted to be a Saint all along...
Injured Players
Looking at the Saints track record when it comes to players, it seems to me that they feel comfortable signing an injured player if he's hurt once...but not twice. Darren Sharper is an obvious...
The Defense
So, I've been thinking about the draft and how it shows the thoughts of the Saints coaches on the defense. The Saints did not spend a single pick on a LB. They spent their first pick on a DB....
Qualities you want in an OLB
So I've been reading a lot about a number of OLB prospects, and have wondered, what do the Saints need as far as OLB skills? What skill would be best: 1) pass-rush, 2) run-stop, 3) coverage. I...
How the Saints can end up looking smart
Don't Panic. I think we're all trying to rationally work our way through that pick for a CB in the first round. But I've got some thoughts on how this not only makes sense but lots of sense....

NOLA Media Mock Draft Pick
3AP, WDSU, T-P, WWL, neworleans.com writers all predict Saints' pick
Potential LBs' film
As I struggle to figure who's the best LB for the Saints, to pick, I realized that I'm mostly just reading "expert" opinions on the guys--the same experts who had Colston and Brady way at the end...

All this talking about Linebackers....
4Got me looking up the Dome Patrol. Let's draft a guy like Rickey Jackson (he was a 2nd round pick, too).
Draft Dream Scenarios
So I saw what ESPN thinks would be a "dream scenario" for the Saints (Jerry Hughes in round 1), and it got me thinking, what is my dream scenario that's still within the realm of reason / logic for...

Big Ben Suspended 4-6 games
8If he's suspended 6 games and if preseason doesn't count (I don't know), then his first game would be against the Saints.
Food for Thought?
So I keep looking at the LB class, in particular, the OLB class for this year, and it really doesn't strike me as a strong class. I looked at some "experts" who tend to agree that OLB is somewhat...

Steals in the Draft
Who do you think is a good steal in this draft? I don't mean just for the positions that the Saints need, but for any position (so WR is still fair game). If you can find some players that the...
Scenarios
I've been thinking about the Saints draft decision and possible pick in the first round, and I think the Saints are going to trade down into the upper second round. I'm basing this on two general...

Saints safety Usama Young to re-sign with team Thursday
1Usama Young will sign his one-year tender offer with the team Thursday
Biggest need or want?
Now that Alex Brown is a Saint (a very good move), the Saints seem to have decent depth at DE for now. I'm going to ignore offense because, let's be honest, as it is right now the Saints have one...

Overview of Saints RFA deals
A nice overview of the deals for 15 of the 18 RFA (the other three do not have deals yet).

Jahri Evans gets an offer
12Evans, a first-team All-Pro this past season, was offered a one-year deal worth $3.168 million, which was a mandatory 10 percent raise over his 2009 salary. That puts him at the highest possible compensation level, which means the Saints have the right to match any offer he might sign with another team in free agency, or they would receive both first- and third-round draft picks if they let him sign with another team.
What is the big-to-do about Sharper--but not Fujita?
How many people actually believe that Sharper won't be a Saint next year?Honestly, I'm having a somewhat difficult time believing in the rumors / bad hype that Sharper won't be a Saint next year....

Nice little highlights video I found on youtube...

Which LSU player would you want?
So, I'm a big LSU fan in addition to being a Saints fan (I feel like this is pretty common). Anyway, who would you want from LSU (who could be drafted) on the Saints team?There's a poll on the...

Tebow a Saint?
16Did anyone else see this mock draft? Ummm....the Saints already have a starting QB, right? Oh, he won the SB MVP? But as a second round project....thoughts? No, or Hell No? Or something else?
LT let go by Chargers
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4936783The Chargers let go of LT, who says he wants to go to a team that has a chance to win a title. Having just won a title, the Saints qualify. I...
"Unrespected" Sports Bloggers
Something I (and probably you) have noticed this year is that a fair number of "established" online sports journalists (local newspaper beat writers, ESPN writers, etc.) have taken quite a few...
