I want the Saints to nab Chris Conley in the draft.

Me too... Badly... I actually have semi-insider info.

I went to HS with Chris. We graduated together. I know him pretty well. We weren't super close or anything but it's hard to not know about the local "star," and we had some mutual friends so I hung out with him sometimes.

I will tell you this about Chris: he has a drive like no one I have ever met. He will work as hard as he can to be the best he can be. He's kind, and cares about others more than most. He is a natural leader. People gravitate toward him and listen when he talks.


I always knew all of this. What I didn't know was how explosive of an athlete he was. He was always good but never like on the level that he showed at the combine. His physical traits combined with what I know about him as a worker and a leader assures me that he will be a good player in this league.

Now, all of that said.. His stock is rising... I would be HAPPY to take him in the third. I am that confident. It feels like a "reach" but he's the real deal.
