I dunno really. I have a ton of opinions though just like many here. Having the number two overall is very critical to a franchise's future. The greatest feeling I have about it though is anticipation and confidence. My skepticism grew very strong in the past two to three years seeing the type of personnel decisions made in the Haslett era. I do not have a greatly elevated opinion of Loomis yet. The distinct change of approach and the moves made thusfar lead me to believe he makes moves strongly in accord with the head coach's philosophy and desire though. Thus as the Tebuckys were Haslett's team maybe the Brees and draft picks forward will be the Payton era. So great hope for better moves.

As to the specifics of the upcoming draft-
~I am a bigtime Hawk advocate. I believe he is not only the real deal sort of tackling machine. I believe of the first 5 or 6 draft picks he is also the safest bet. That is, the one with least bust potential. Maybe not the highest impact but the surest. Saying all that, I also believe unless the team trades down lower than #4 he will not be the pick. Maybe I will be impressed by the FO all the more that their smokescreen was so effective and they take him anyway.
~I feel very good that a trade out of the number two spot will happen. If they do not, it still will be a high impact player. To pick up an extra pick or two and be able to sign one of the guys you want for lower money though would display wisdom and strategy that has not been seen here in some time though.
~My slate is still very clean for the new regime here. I am prepared to be supportive even if they do not make the draft choices I find most favorable. The two biggest would be taking Leinart or Mario at the #2 spot. If that happens I will only hope their shrewdness ends up proving them to be the professionals and us only wanna be GM fans. It is easy to imagine scenarios where those two picks could end up being the wisest moves no matter how much I want Hawk. Show us whatcha got Malcolm! Ya got the most devoted fans in the league here.
