Thats pretty cool must be an incredible feeling getting to play with the guys you grew up rooting for.

We needed this position. Guy played on big stage. Obviously can run block considering the last two years at LSU stats. Tough, playing through injuries. Haven't really watched tape on him but don't remember him being a problem in any LSU games last year. As center must be fairly smart and would be a good backup at guard/center this year as we don't really need a starter. When Unger retires he can step in. I like the pic from what I know.

Demario Davis and Marcus Davenport's families also came from in and around the New Orleans area and are Saints fans.

Asylum - I noticed you've mentioned Demario a couple of times. I'm really high on him too. Something tells me he will produce like Ellerbe without the injuries.

Didn't realize he and the late Steve "Air" McNair are 1st cousins.

I didn't know that. And, yes, I am REALLY high on Davis. I picked him up on one of my fantasy teams last season so I followed him closely. He had a huge year last year starting all 16 games at Mike, had five sacks and 135 tackles (97 solo). He is smart and fast. I'll guarantee you that Mike Nolan was a driving force behind his choosing to play with the Saints.
