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

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.
