2001 NFL Draft - epic for the Saints (1 Viewer)

[endlessHIMdark]

The 2001 NFL Draft:

Dan Morgan - #11 - Carolina Panthers
Deuce McAllister - #23 - New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees - #32 - San Diego Chargers
Heath Evans - #82 - Seattle Seahawks
Matt Lehr - #137 - Dallas Cowboys

Besides Deuce, the New Orleans picks weren't too great. Just goes to show you how luck can sometimes fall into place.

So by epic, you mean basically just Drew Brees?

Deuce + Brees = epic all over your face

Matt Lehr isn't on the roster anymore

Lehr is not on the roster and was never a factor. Morgan is a long shot to be a contributor (anything is lagniappe), Deuce is gone, so that really leaves Brees and Evans. It would have been nice to have all in their prime at the same time.

Yikes, the Sedrick Hodge/Onome Ojo draft

Here's some trivia for you - at one point, we owned pick #82, the one Seattle ended up using to draft Evans.

Matt Lehr - haha EPIC? Actually he probably drove the epicness down by being on the list. Good observation though.

I wouldn't say that. He did start at least one game (the London game).

Heath Evans is gonna play a huge part in our offense.. mark it down. the guy is a nightmare matchup in the passing game, and at the FB position that's a huge bonus because they normally draw the LBs in coverage, and he's gonna be sick in our passing attack.
