Re: saints traded to get in the 7th round

"Has been suspended on more than one occasion and in 2006 was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence following an argument with his girlfriend".

To be fair;

YPSILANTI, Mich. — Michigan wide receiver Adrian Arrington has been cleared of a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. The charge stemmed from an Oct. 13 incident in which his girlfriend, Jodie Hupe, told police that Arrington snatched the keys to her sport utility vehicle and drove away.

Arrington, a 20-year-old junior, was scheduled to go on trial Monday in Ypsilanti. But prosecutors dismissed the charge Thursday at what was scheduled to be a pretrial conference.

The charge was dismissed because Judge Kirk Tabbey insists that civilian complainants appear at such hearings to make sure they will show up at the trial, Washtenaw County assistant prosecutor Steve Hiller said Friday. He said Hupe did not appear despite receiving notice of the hearing.

"In domestic violence cases, this is not an unusual thing to have happen," he said.

Arrington could have faced up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.

According to a police report, Hupe said she picked up Arrington from a bar after she finished work and they got into an argument. Arrington grabbed Hupe's keys and pushed her out of the vehicle and drove off, the report said.

However, the report said she did not want to press charges and only was concerned about Arrington driving because he had been drinking.

Re: saints traded to get in the 7th round

he is compared to colston because he is 6'3 and makes UNBELIEVABLE catches.. i am so excited about this. i had no idea we got back into the draft. i saw his game against florida and he made some amazing/unbelievable catches. absolute steal.

this definitely was the icing on the cake for this draft.

now problem is:
colston,
meachem,
patten,
henderson,
arrington,
copper,
skylar green,
lance moore

Re: saints traded to get in the 7th round

as someone who watches a lot of big ten football...this guys is a jump ball kind of reciever...he does an excellent job of using his body to get the catch....he wont be a burner by any stretch, but he does have the potential to be a solid wr in the nfl

p.s. i hate michigan

Patten was solid and provides leadership & tutoring, so I think he is safe
Meachem gets the free pass again
Henderson better be working out right now- he is the most ex$pendable
Copper/Moore- ST play will decide if either makes it- Porter puts both their jobs on the line
Arrington and Green can both be dynamic, but I think AA has the edge.
I can't see carrying 6 WR's and 4 RB's, plus Karney

I'll take a crack at it:


colston,
Keep. Duh.
meachem,
I'm not down on the guy like many others. I really think the Saints planned to redshirt him when they picked him. They knew of his medical issues. He's healthy now and the coaching staff has been really happy with his progress. Can anyone find me a quote from a pundit anywhere from last year that says that Meachum isn't a first round receiving talent? He's going to be a significant cog in this offense for years to come.
patten,
Stopgap. He'll be here for this year. But with the young talent developing behind him, 2008 may be his last year with the Saints.
henderson,
Simple: produce or be gone. Still stretches the field like no other receiver we have. However, the drops drives everyone nuts.
arrington,
Tough problem. Has to pass waivers to get to the practice squad. May be too raw to carry on the 53 man roster. The kid needs a special teams assignment until he's ready to play receiver.
copper,
Old reliable. Great ST player. Will stick around.
skylar green,
Bye-bye. Not a good enough receiver. Porter will be the punt returner. No place for Skylar. Sorry we barely knew you.
lance moore
I think it may be the end of the road for Lance. He's somewhere between copper and green. He won't be the punt returner and probably isn't good enough to be the 4th receiver (unless henderson falls off). He's definitely the bubble guy here.

Colston - not a problem
Patten - not a problem
Meachem - not a problem this camp
The rest - earn your spot.
