I'd have to say, considering how well we did in 2006 and the drop off in 2007, this IS the most anticipated draft in Saints history.

Its exciting don't get me wrong but I don't think this is more anticipated than most we have had. Its just a draft like any other year, it would be more if we were picking 1 or 2.

I really don't think so. If you're picking 1 or 2 you don't have many options, theres that one guy thats really good and head and shoulders above the rest, and you know you're going to pick him. You basically have to look forward to round 2 and 3.

Mine was the 1999 draft. I knew that Ditka wanted Ricky Williams, but I was convinced the Saints had no shot at him. As the draft got underway, the Saints tried trading up with Cincinnati and no go. Then after Cincinnati picked Smith I had some hope again. Then when Indy refused to trade with the Saints I thought it was over, no Ricky Williams. Then to my surprise they selected Edgerin James. OK, it's not over yet. I held my breath and the commissioner came on and said that the Saints have traded with Washington for the 5th spot. When it was announced that the Saints got Ricky Williams I was so geeked I called everyone I knew. The 1999 draft was my most hyped and most enjoyable draft. That draft was on the radio because I didn't have cable TV at the time. That made it even more special. Too bad Ricky only lasted 3 seasons in New Orleans.

i was pretty excited for the reggie draft.. b/c i thought we would get A J hawk.. lol.. then when the texans signed mario williams.. i was really pumped then... i think this one is exciting b/c of all the trade rumors we hear about the saints.. that and we have an awesome team and we have a chance to really improve both sides of the ball really quickly in this draft..
