New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton met with the media Saturday following a morning rookie minicamp practice. Five takeaways:

1. The team's top draft pick, Andrus Peat, has been working primarily at right tackle although Payton said most offensive linemen get trained at two positions.

2. Payton said he has been impressed with third-round pick Garrett Grayson and the other two quarterbacks in camp, Taylor Graham from Hawaii and Justin Worley from Tennessee.

3. Payton said defensive back Delvin Breaux has stood out and is in better shape than most of the camp participants because he's been able to take part in the team's offseason program.

4. The two drafted defensive backs at the camp, third-rounder P.J. Williams and fifth-rounder Damian Swann, have done a good job, according to Payton.

5. Second-round pick Hau'oli Kikaha out of Washington will primarily be an edge rusher. He goes by Hau (pronounced How).

Go Breaux! I have him as my camp favorite.

With a name like that he is in the right city. But how is it pronounced? Would it be "Bro"?

Don't give him the keys to the city, Baptiste name fit also,but he couldn't get on the field. I am rooting for both, let the best man win

It's a shame, we all had high hopes for him. We can't even move him to the practice squad either

Does anyone have sound byte of Bobby Hebert saying 'Hau'oli Kikaha?" I cant wait to hear it.

Nope. And now he has a mountain of competition.

Starters - Lewis & Browner
Nickel - PJ or Breaux

So it's five guys fighting for what, two spots??
Dixon
Frederick
Swann
Wilson
SJB

Maybe they'll have 6 corners instead of 5. Can't 2 of those guys play safety? 6 corners and 5 safeties sounds about right.
