Have heard the same thing but previous poster is right. With the money spent on him need to wait and hope he gets it at some point. If Henderson had been a fifth round choice instead of second he probably would have been cut first year. Oops, maybe that is not a good argument.

How long did we wait on Jonathan Sullivan, three years?

Anybody remember whether he got to be a first rounder, Meacham, from performance at Tenn or at workouts and combines? I don't remember him being that special at Tenn. but I may be mistaken

he had a breakout junior year

...also Devery pretty much had a redshirt rookie season so IMO Meachem gets a pass for this season

Robert Meachem had a really good year his last year at Tennessee. He destroyed LSU when we played them.
I didnt mind the pick at the time because I didnt think no defensive player was going to help the saints defense get better. I believed in the if you cant stop them try to outscore them approach.
I did think it was weird though that a player with his size, speed, catching ability, and production would drop to that late in the first round. Maybe some other teams saw some red flags that the saints didnt know about.
