I think you mean Johnathan Sullivan.

DT Johnathan Sullivan, the sixth overall pick of the 2003 draft and once thought of as the next in a line of big, athletic and disruptive defensive tackles. The Saints thought so highly of him that they passed on CB Marcus Trufant and other successful defensive linemen like Terrell Suggs or Kevin Williams. It was a shock at a time that the Saints would take Sullivan, especially when the "heavy lunch bunch" of Norman Hand, Grady Jackson and Martin Chase was intact.

anyone remember what we gave up to pick Sullivan at#6?

Cost us a bunch of money and two draft picks played in 36 games and had 1.5 sacks.

The 17th and 18th picks that year. That pick didn't make sense to anyone, not even at the time.

Look at the first rounders we passed up:
Jordan Gross
Kevin Williams
Terrell Suggs
Marcus Trufant
Troy Polamalu
Dallas Clark
Kwame Harris
Andre Woolfolk
Nnamdi Asomugha
