Pick #2- New Orleans Saints

I listened to Tony Kornheiser's last radio show yesterday. One of the folks he spoke to was James Carville, who was speaking at Loyola in New Orleans. One of the interesting things they both said is that he city is a long way away, and that while sports can help, it ultimately is a pretty small part. Really, more than anything else, you need homes being built, an infrastructure. If Reggie Bush comes in, it would help the Saints to be competitive, but there's still very real problems there.

Amazing reaction shots of the Jets fans, then the Saints fans. Any boos, obviously are for the Jets management team. I feel bad for whoever they pick, because it could get nasty.

The Titans are up now. One of the interesting sub-plots has been this debate between the coaches and management. Perhaps the stupidest thing I've seen all week is that the Titans would bring in Kerry Collins to groom Vince Young for two years, which is pretty much the dumbest idea ever. After all, he wasn't too keen on the idea two years ago. This ultimately is a pick that defines the franchise for the next decade. I don't buy the talk that Leinart is a product of the system, especially when one considers the man who designed that system is sitting as the offensive coordinator. Vince Young could be Jesus 2. Lets see.
