Boykin is the only name that i heard from people regarding last years street FAs. Also, another thing i heard on Walter Thomas, they are having a hard time finding workout clothes big enough for him. I am not going to say the staff is banking on him to put his stuff together, but they are pulling for him to fullfill his potential. They think with a year or two of tutelage from Hollis Thomas, who also was undrafted, they think he can really turn into a dominant force in the middle.

Steal
 
Pittman in the 4th round is a steal no matter what pick in the 4th round. He should not have been there and the Saints realized it. If he becomes your guy in the 4th round you wheel and deal and get the guy.

Unlike some of you I have heard of Young before the draft, I had him on my radar. You can't go for what some mag rags are showing at BAP or who is rated higher than others. You see a guy and you want to take a chance on him... you go for it. Thats how come the Saints ended up in the NFC Championship in one year under Payton. COLSTON in round 7.

No one knows whats going to happen so you get the best available player that YOU believe, not what some publications or polls say. Most of its all guess work...

What you have to understand is that most of those magazines were printed up either before or right after the combine. Alot of the guys in the draft from smaller schools arent on there because they had no info on them. It doesnt take into account and Pro Days or personal workouts. So dont read too much into those magazines.
