    I expect him to go in the 5th - 7th round, to a really good team with minimal holes to fill. He's a luxury pick, and he's going to make some team happy, either as a situational rb/fb/h-back or special teamer (a la Larry Izzo.)

    I expect the team will be the Patriots or Cowboys. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cardinals or Steelers to take a run at him either.

    I believe you're thinking of Amp Hill, not Lavelle Hawkins.

    I gotta believe Craig Steltz will have a shot at the 2nd round.

    That's correct. He signed with the 2004 class, then transfered because of homesickness. I dont recall him ever getting injured. I remember wishing him well because it wasnt because of playing time or any of the myriad of other reasons players give for transferring. He just wanted to be closer to his family and home.

    Tyson Jackson will be a a 1st rounder if he goes but I expect him to come back to lead the defense after a slow start this year. His numbers suffered with the way we used him early on.

    No Forte was a RB in high school. However LSU recruited him to play FB (Though I think he was never offered a schollie). He wanted to be a feature back, and it seems to have worked out well for him.

    I would love to see C. Jackson or Ali Highsmith in a Saints Uniform. He still hurts to see Bradie playing for the dreaded cowgirls.

    LH was in the 04 class, he was here for one or two games and then left for reasons already mentioned. I think he actually transfered down to somewhere in Cali. and played that season before transfering to CAL

    Probably about 4 as well. Ellis, Rivers, and Baker are first rounders. Im sure one or more may be as well or near that level.
