the exact opposite.

we traded UP for Ellis.


Yes and no...he was projected as possible top 5...it was either him or dorsey....he did fall a little but they did move up to get him.

if you think we had no predraft meetings with Ellis or Porter you're a fool.


Porter was invited to work out and Orgeron paid special attention to Ellis during USC pro day.

He drop a couple of spots so the Saints traded with the Pats to move up into the #7 spot....the Saints were at 10 and word was that Cinncy wanted him at 9.


I also noticed that the Saints moved up right in front of Cincy in middle rounds to get Pressley possibly causing them to settle for that DT from Texas. Saints also traded back into the 7th to get Arrington while almost immediately afterwards, Cincy got WR Urritia from Louisville.
Maybe it was just coincidence but i thought the Saints were being pricks to Cincinnati during the entire draft.

Thought Meachem was going to be a bust in the NFL until the Saints drafted him


Umm ... isn't he a bust? Hope the dude turns it around, but thank GOD the Saints aren't looking at drafting YET ANOTHER stiff from the Tenn. Univ. (Stallworth, Meachem ... who's next from the Vowels?)
