New Orleans Saints - Grade C-

After striking gold last year with draftees from Hofstra and Bloomsburg State, the Saints must have decided that small schools was the way to go in 2007. How else to explain taking players from Kent, Akron, Towson and mighty Division II Wingate? Young wasn't even ranked among the top 25 cornerbacks by many publications. They didn't have Bushrod or Jones either for that matter. It doesn't mean these guys are bad players. It's just that they're coming out of obscurity. Guess you don't get Reggie Bush every year. Nothing wrong with Meachem, though. He is a younger, bigger version of Joe Horn.
