    Here is some predictions on whether players are Overrated, Underrated, and Best Pro.

    For the WR position they have Ginn as being overrated probably because of having to cut his Pro Day short because of nagging injuries.

    I can only hope this to be true because CJ is an amazing talent but I have seen some great college players perform poorly in the pros.

    CB: If one of the top 4 CB fall to the Saints pick we might get this Hog. Many experts have him going to us in their Mock Drafts.

    Tedd Ginn Jr being talked about as a 1st rounder is a joke. He is Desmond Howard in a Buckeye uniform. Sure Howard had his one shining moment in the Super Bowl against the Pats, but that is it. Any team would be absolutely stupid to take Ginn in the first round.

    I agree, he is average at route-running, has decent hands but who knows what some people will do for speed. I could see him being used like Devery is now to stretch the field and to go deep on when open.
    And I wouldn't mind drafting Houston as long as he isn't ever matched up with Dwayne Bowe again :grin:

    Houston would be horrible for the Saints if Tampa drafts CJ. Can you imagine that little 5'9 CB trying to guard somebody who is 6'5 and can jump through the roof? Also, if Mckenzie gets hurt, that would leave us with two 5'9 CBs(Fred Thomas aka the worst CB in the league) trying to stop the likes of Michael Clayton, Chris Johnson, Steve Smith, and Keyshawn Johnson. I just don't think the Saints can take that risk in the first round with him.

    Chris Houston shut down Dwayne Jarret last year so that doenst have me worried at all....I really hope the saints have a chance to draft Houston, I think it would be a pefect fit.

    Houston is one of the best lock down corners and is incredibly physical. Height has a lot less to do with a corners skills than most think. In the NFL, there aren't going to be jump balls every play.
