Arizona running back Beanie Wells' success doesn't surprise New Orleans Saints | New Orleans Saints Central - - NOLA.com

"The Arizona Cardinals picked the 6-foot-1, 228-pound power runner with the 31st pick in the draft after the Saints tried in vain to trade up and draft him earlier in the first round.

The Saints spent a few hours working the phones that day, coming close to a deal with the New England Patriots. Ultimately, though, they felt the price tag was too high."

Yeah I'm glad we didn't though. We probably wouldn't have had the picks to trade up for a punter if it would have gone down. Also, I didn't want to see Beanie boy in a B&G #26. ;)
