I've got to think these pre-draft interviews at the combine are primarily used to finish incomplete scouting reports and are not a true barometer of interest.

The Saints are far too secretive with their list of valued prospects to prematurely show their hand via public-knowledge pre-draft interviews.

This who the Saints interviewed at the combine last year in 2014:

Walt Aikens, DB, Liberty (SR)
Ricardo Allen, CB, Purdue (EW)
Jeremiah Attaochu, LB, Georgia Tech (SR)
Carrington Byndom, CB, Texas (EW)
Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers Saints UDFA
Aaron Colvin, DB, Oklahoma (PRI)
Alden Darby, S, Arizona State (EW)
Chris Davis, DB, Auburn (SR)
Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood (PRI)
Ahmad Dixon, DB, Baylor (SR)
Chase Dixon, TE, Central Arkansas (PRI/PRO)
Dakota Dozier, G, Furman (EW)
Shaquelle Evans, WR, UCLA (SR)

This who the Saints interviewed at the combine in 2013:

Cooper Taylor, S, Richmond (EW)
Chase Thomas, LB, Stanford Saints UDFA
Brandon Williams, DL, Missouri Southern (SR)
Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor (SR)
Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas (SR)

With that said, I hope you are right about the Saints zeroing in on Dupree or Collins with the multiple interviews. I like them both!

But if the Saints have shown anything in the recent past is we can't look at the combine, or even pro days for that matter (UGA Jarvis Jenkins, LSU's Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid, etc..), as a true barometer of interest, more of a back up plan.

So it'll probably be someone who they barely had any contact with, if any at all. So to me, it's still looking like OG Brandon Scherff.
