While I am a diehard Saints fan, I can't say that I'm a fanatic when it comes to the draft.  This for me, right now is the most exciting time of the year.  Hope springs eternal and all that crap!  But it's for real.  Everyone can see their team making the superbowl at this time of year.  There's even a Falcons fan out there that is delusional enough to think it! 

One of the things that is exciting is trying to get a feel for the players that will impact the team this season.  Which will stay, which will go.  Even though it all starts up front, you don't hear as much about the offensive lineman.  I continue to hear about Carl Nicks this preseason.  For an offensive line that seems to be set in stone, it seems this rookie is getting his fair share of press.  I searched online to see if I could find anything else about him and I came up with a combine workout video.  I was amazed at the athleticism of such a big man.  And he looks powerful as well.  I didn't get a chance to see him in the Cardinals game, but I am truly excited about the possibility of him unseating a veteran this year and using his skills to open up some holes for our running backs to run through.
