* Trade pick 1 (10) to Detroit for 1 (15), 3 (87), & 4 (107)
* Trade pick 2 (40) and 3 (87) to NYG for TE Jeremy Shockey
-Where there is smoke there is usually fire. The Saints want Shockey badly and one of their primary motives for their trade down in round 1 was to get extra ammo for this deal & still have a decent set of picks left over. This deal will get done IMO.
1 (15) -> LB Keith Rivers, USC
-Dynamic linebacker solidifies Saints' linebacker corp. I am having doubts that we will use pick 10. Detroit sends us a couple of mid-rounders so that they can select Mendenhall. I am a HUGE DRC fan but I don't think he will be available by the time we pick. Rivers comes in and competes immediately for a starting job at WLB. Will supplant Morgan at some point this season.
3 (78) -> CB Terrence Wheatley, Colorado
-Ran a 4.3 40 and had 14 career interceptions at Colorado. Very underrated prospect that will make the team that drafts him very happy.
4 (107) -> DE/DT Kendall Langford, Hampton
-Can play both DE and DT and will provide versatility and depth up front. I really like this prospect and think he will be a steal for someone. 6-5 297 and runs a 4.96 40. He was a sack machine at the FCS level.
5 (138) -> S/CB Jonathan Hefney, Tennessee
- Another one of my favorite prospects. Another tweener that will provide flexibility and stellar special teams play. Runs a 4.3 40 and at 5-8 180 pounds is sort of a poor man's Bob Sanders
6 (169) -> QB/WR Cleve McCoy, South Carolina State (practice squad)
7 (200) -> DT Jason Shirley, Fresno State (practice squad)
