Called it back then... although I still firmly believe that the Saints could've gotten him in the 5th and should've moved up in the 3rd to get Derek Wolfe instead.

Nevertheless, he turned out be one heck of a pick.

I'd say our luck with first rounders is changing though - see Cam Jordan and Kenny Vaccaro

Hicks is a monster and with our DB's it should lead to even more coverage sacks by Hicks, Jordan, and Galette. On the other end they will probably cause more poorly thrown balls getting intercepted by getting to the QB. All of the QB's we play against are going to be in a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario with throwing the ball.

That would be just fine by me.

To be fair I think that Cam slid to us in the draft. We were picking higher last year than the Saints normally do under Payton(because of our winning record) and made several good picks in each round.
