He could learn from Mike just like Usama did last year. Maybe he will just be a depth player.

Porter's 16 interceptions rank second in school history, topped only by Tim Wilbur's 19 (1978-82)...His 413 yards on interception returns broke Wilbur's previous school all-time record of 360 yards and rank third in Big Ten Conference annals behind Jamar Fletcher of Wisconsin (459, 1998-2000) and Tom Curtis of Michigan (431, 1967-69)...First player in school history to return a punt, an interception and a fumble for a touchdown in his career...First Indiana cornerback since Mike Dumas in 1989 to earn first-team All-Big Ten Conference honors (2007)...Had six interceptions in 2007, tying Mark Sutor (1982), Tim Wilbur (1978), Milt Campbell (1955) and John Cannady (1946) for third on the school's season-record list, surpassed only by Wilbur's eight pass thefts in 1979 and seven by Dave Abrams in 1977...Gained 137 yards on interception returns in 2007, the fourth-best season total in Indiana history behind Tim Wilbur (167 in 1979 and 138 in 1978) and Mike Dumas (152 in 1990)...His 98 yards in returns via interceptions vs. Central Michigan in 2004 is the second-best game total in Hoosiers annals, topped only by Mike Dumas (99 vs. Purdue, 11/24/90)...His 96-yard interception return vs. Central Michigan in 2004 is the fourth-longest in school history behind Mike Dumas (99 vs. Purdue, 11/24/90), Tim Wilbur (98 vs. Michigan State, 10/21/78) and Alfonzo Thurman (97 vs. Miami, Ohio, 9/10/94)...His punt-return average of 13.6 yards rank seventh in Big Ten Conference history and set a school career-record.

I like the pick. He'll be somewhat of a project at CB but will step in on returns right away.
Something tells me that the Saints may be looking at the salary cap in connection with the Sheppard and/or Shockey trade. Big money for either guy and Ellis will get a wagon full on money as well.
We still have some contracts to extend.

I like the pick. Great numbers and great cover corner. F Shockey. Attitude, injuries, and, dammit, we need defense defense defense - most notably AT THE CORNER POSITION. Nice pick. Great day 1 of draft imo.

I don't understand the knee-jerk reactions.
This isn't an out of radar range pick that the Saints specialized in last year. It's a solid pick in a position of need.

Hellooooo. Did everyone forget about Dan Connor. He is a damn good linebacker and we still can use 1
Posted on 4/26/08 at 6:30 pm to Lester Earl
Exactly. I think he'll do fine. Btw just read that he ran 4.29 at his pro day

5'11 is not small for a cornerback.
Hes got great natural cover skills, hes fast and hes a ball-hawk.
I don't see what there is to not like about this pick other than that it wasn't Shockey.

Leodis McKelvin is 5'11, you'd be pissed with him?
