Interesting Lienart Theory . . .

As to the Saints, Leinart could be the guy at No.2 not because of what he can do on the field, but because of the value that he brings to the franchise if owner Tom Benson tries to sell the team to Los Angeles interests after the 2006 season. Many league insiders believe that the Saints' return to New Orleans is indeed temporary, and that Benson will sell out for something close to $1 billion. Although 23 other owners must approve any franchise move, the one-two punch of putting a team back in Los Angeles and getting Benson out of the Billionaire Boys Club could be sufficient to muster the votes.

This is one angle I didn't consider, which presents an option to our #2 pick . . .
