2 4 16 116 Chip Vaughn DB Wake Forest
3 4 18 118 Stanley Arnoux LB Wake Forest
I loved the MJ pick. Perfect all around player for our needs. Thought Vaughn and Arnoux were going to be pretty good too. I was wrong.

I remember everyone wanting Dorsey but being excited with Ellis.
Porter everyone was ok about but some wanted Desean Jackson who was still on the board.
People liked the Nicks pick.

Everyone loved the Hass pick. He was that years Onomo Ojo.

At the time of the draft which 1st Rd Pick did you think was best? Which one worst?
Best- Malcolm Jenkins. The thought of him playing CB or S had me sold.
Worst- Robert Meachem
Going into that draft,2007, I wanted the Saints to pick Lamar Woodley. Right before the draft, Charles Grant got that huge deal. Had a feeling picking Woodley wasn't likely anyway, just liked him.

Best #1: 2008 1 1 7 7 Sedrick Ellis DT USC
Worst #1: 2006 1 1 2 2 Reggie Bush RB USC (based on Return on Investment) Still waiting for the potential to turn into production. I really thought he had turned the corner in the 2009 playoff games but since then he has run backwards, danced and lost yardage.
Other Rounds Best: 2010 3 3 31 95 Jimmy Graham TE Miami (FL)
2008 4 5 29 164 Carl Nicks T Nebraska
2006 8 7 44 252 Marques Colston WR Hofstra
Other Rounds Worst: 2007 4 4 8 107 Antonio Pittman RB Ohio State
2008 5 6 12 178 Taylor Mehlhaff K Wisconsin

Of our 8 pics in 2006, you could argue that without the first 2 and last 2 (so 4 out of 8), the Saints may not have won the SB. Looking at it, Reggie is the only one that did not pan out to what we expected (but our expectations were very high).

2007 was a wasted draft

Man, I thought he was going to the best ever.

I hated the Bush Pick( wanted to trade back a few spots and take AJ Hawk) I thought he was really overrated coming out of USC
Meachem- I didn't hate or love this pick but I was really confused why we didn't go Defense here.
Ellis- I loved this pick it filled a huge need
Jenkins- I loved this one as well. We needed secondary help bad.
Patrick Robinson- I never heard of this kid when we took him and didn't know why we drafted at this position but it worked out this yr with all the injuries at CB

Everybody did.
In the begining, the draft Gods bestowed upon the Saints the likes of Onome Ojo. And Ojo begat Hass and Hass begat Terrance Copper. And Terrance Copper begat Adrian Arrington?

I won't lie. The Reggie Pick had me the most excited.
Didn't like the Meachem pick, wanted Olsen.
Always liked the Jenkins pick though, Saints needed a DB and they got the best one in the draft.
The other rounds, I always just hope for the best, and try not to get too excited about anyone.

At the time:
Best- Bush, of course. I had visions of a Dorsett/Sanders hybrid, shredding other teams effortlessly. Greatest player since Gale Sayers
Worst- trading picks away to get Morstead. A PUNTER???
I was excited about Meacham, I thought he was gonna be a 1000 yd bookend with Colston. Figured Devery was gonna fade away.
After the Morstead pick and how that worked, I no longer can hate on any picks, I just nod and say "yep, he must fit in the plans somewhere"

hokie looks really stupid banging on the morstead pick
Posted on 4/16/11 at 3:11 pm to chrisman17
Good- Colston, Jenkins, Meachem, Ellis, Graham, all OL
Posted on 4/18/11 at 8:29 pm to Smedium27
it would be even better if the saints had more patience with ninkovich, david jones, and demarrio pressley.......

WR Hass could have been good, but he could not stay healthy.
