What they forget until the 2nd round is that Payton never turned in the pick, and our #2 overall has suddenly turned into #35, while our #34 turns into #36, in which they select Brodie Croyle and Brian Calhoun back to back. Venturi decides to trade the rest of the draft to Green Bay, in exchange for Brett Favre and Donald Driver, freeing up cap space for the pack to show some love to Walker.

We end up with 2 QBÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s, 1 RB, and a 1 WR.

Tom Benson also finds a solution that extends his lifespan another 30 years, and even outlives myself. The Saints move to Bermuda in a push by the NFL to bridge intercontinental activity. The SuperDome is then turned into the worldÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s largest gay bar.

Wow you suck... we're jinxed. We all might as well go jump off the highrise on I-10.

I have one picked out on 75, here in Dallas. 55 stories of free-falling fun.

How about this:

We stay at #2 and pick Kedric Golston DT Georgia.

Yes they are all good, but moving down with lesser options is more favorable for me. With that much talent to choose from, you can easily outthink yourself on who's the best player to take, or the best road to take in order to gain more value for the pick. At 4 or 5, the picture is a little clearer, and we would have extra picks. So, being forced to stay put is my worst case scenario, although ti could easily become the best if the Texans don't take Bush, and we hold him for ransom.

we trade our first rounder to oakland for their first rounder and aaron brooks.......thats worst case scenario

I'm going to go with the most realistic scenario that I would not like. Even the Saints aren't going to take Vince Young, Vernon Davis or Kedric Golston (I hope, haha). We take Mario with the 2nd pick and Brees' shoulder isn't the same and is no where near the qb he used to be. This scenario, we don't fill any needs and now we're stuck with Todd at qb and no oline and a lot of holes on defense.

Pretty much what Kiper predicts in the new mock

Worst case scenerio is not getting our early picks out on the field and producing. We need impact players all across the field. There is no reason why we can't get 3. Hopefully, we can get a fair deal for the #2 pick
