That draft would be a homerun to me.

 

[Broken-Ear Glen]

anyone have some info on Mike Neal?

 

[BoNcHiE]

I love the Hughes, Stuckey, and Dixon picks.

Mike Neal in the 2nd? Don't see that happening.

Don't know about Stuckey,but somewhere in there's got to be a OLB. I'd be all for the Saints trading up for another 3rd/4th to pick and picking OLB

Scouting reports on Mike Neal.

 

[adsmm23]

Yeah I was confused as well at Mike Neal going in the 2nd. But from what I know, Stuckey is more of a SS. Anyone watch Stuckey enough to know if he can play FS? No LBs in the first 4 rounds? I seriously doubt that Also, replace Neal with Linval. If that draft did happen, I wouldn't be too upset, but I think we could do better.

"Neal recieved the 2009 Hammar Award (Outstanding Hitter) in the spring season.
Named Team Co Captain"
I approve after reading this ^^^^
I am SOLD at pick #64!

 

[Mutt]

This would be a great draft!

 

[Lustmord]

we still need to see what we have in Vaughn and Arnoux.

 

[bergeaux]

With Alex Brown signed, I don't have DE ahead of DT as a need.

 

[saints2k8]

I've never heard of Neal or Stuckey

Jerry Hugghes is primarily a OLB. Kiper has him projected as DE with the Saints, but with GW this guy's flexibility would be a definite asset. As for second round, the Saints could have a couple of picks before #64, in which case I see Linval Joseph in the second round.

I though Hughes was a 3-4 OLB & 4-3 DE?
