Re: lets go back to 2006
What about the 2007 draft? Anyone but the mothballed Meachum would have contributed by now.

Re: lets go back to 2006
I still would have picked Reggie Bush, for every Bush that comes along ther gonna be 10 good linebackers. As andersen said, think of the 2007 draft, Imagine us picking Paul Posluszny instead of Meachem...

Re: lets go back to 2006
The draft is a crap shoot you never know what your gonna get. Everyone had Bush as the best player in the draft and when you pick 2nd your happy to get the best player in the draft. I think Posluszy (sp???) is done for the year so we might get more production from the inactive Meachum.

Re: lets go back to 2006
Not "everyone" had Reggie Number on on there list. If so Houston wouldn't have passed on him.
How is that Reggie Bush pick working out for you??? We missed a great oppitunity to trade the pick and get some extra picks. I do believe that the Draft can be a crap shoot but with more picks you have more of a chance at stricking gold. Do the math... it takes more than one player to have a good football team. I said it before I'll say it again we are lacking in the talent department and we need a major overhaul in that area which we blew by not trading away the Reggie Bush pick. |

At the time the Saints needed more than a football player (or two or three). They needed an icon to rally around. Bush has filled that role admirably. I posit that if the Saints had not picked Bush and done well last year, they would not in fact still be in the region. That's how important picking Bush was. SFIAH |
