re: Draft Rumors: Players The Saints Have Met With Or Shown Interest In

Anytime you hear information leak that the Saints met with a player, make a mental note. It doesn’t mean they’ll draft the guy, but they’re clearly interested. Last year not only did the Saints meet with Brandin Cooks, Sean Payton was in a much more divulging space than usual. I remember Payton admitting in an interview with the media that they met with a high character receiver that they really liked. Paraphrasing here, they imagined what he would look like in a Saints uniform and how well he’d fit in the locker room merely from the interview. At the time I suspected that person was Cooks. I doubt Payton will give a nugget that juicy to the media this year, but based on the guys they interview you’ll know what position and possibly which prospects they are looking for.

I mentioned this in my story Thursday night, but it bears repeating that the Saints did not bring in Cooks for a visit to their facility this year because they felt so good about everything they learned from him throughout the scouting process. From on-field reviews to the way people raved about his character and competitiveness off the field, to how impressed the Saints were by Cooks during their personal meeting at the scouting combine.

“He was someone that was as clean and clear as to who he was, the type of player he was, and how he approached the game ... He was really impressive,” Payton said of Cooks, adding that the Saints were high on Cooks even before they met him at the combine.

If Collins and Dupree are both there, I would definitely take Collins first. I doubt he falls.


Could then move back up (I know i don't want to either) and snag Dupree.


If our first two picks are Collins and Dupree I will fap for days.

Dude, I have no idea what I'm talking about I just pretend too. Collins and Anthony is probably our main goal.

As of right now...those are my 2 picks for us in the 1st round.

Me too. I keep hearing buzz we have very high interest in Preston Smith too but I think we can get him in the 2nd, depending on how the first 30 picks go we may go Preston at 13 and Anthony at 44 or vice versa.

Guessing they hope Collins slips to the back of round one - good chance - first pick to the D IMO

What is your big deal with taking him at 13? He may not even make it to 13.
