Even more eye-catching during Wednesday's organized team activities was seventh-round draft pick Adrian Arrington. Though it's far too early to tell if he'll be able to grasp the Saints' offense and perform with any consistency, he certainly passes the eyeball test.

Arrington looks like a prototypical receiver with his 6-foot-3, 192-pound build. He's a fluid runner and appears to be a natural pass-catcher. Saints Coach Sean Payton praised him after the rookie minicamp this month. It's not outlandish to make early comparisons to Marques Colston, and not just because both were seventh-round picks.

The question is, where do these guys fit on the depth chart?

The Saints have their top five receivers back from last season -- Colston, Patten, Henderson, Lance Moore and Terrance Copper. And typically, teams keep five receivers on the active roster. The Saints made an exception for Meachem last year, keeping six receivers because they didn't want to risk losing their first-round draft pick.
