This board has noticed (mainly from being LSU based) that the Saints don't appear to like LSU players. Well, I've noticed they don't seem to like or really care for SEC players. I doubt that GMs are really looking at the specific college or conference but it is weird and worth noting.

Over a quarter of the NFL rosters and draft selections are from the SEC. Not so much for the Saints 2008,09,10,11,12,13 the Saints drafted 3 SEC players. Holy shite!
