Six draftees, sixteen un-drafted free agents and thirty-five non-roster tryout invitees will all be in the fold for five practices to try and impress and make noise in hopes of being back when training camp opens in late July.
Do the Saints need strong rookie impact to contend for the NFC Title in 2008? Last season’s class did not give the Black and Gold a push in the form of major production like the class from two seasons ago when four of the Saints Draft Picks developed into starting.
Last year the Saints got some production out of 2nd round pick Usama Young and 7th round pick LB Marvin Mitchell, but other than that it was a weak showing by the Class of 2007.
Can Sedrick Ellis, Tracey Porter, DeMario Pressley, Carl Nicks, Taylor Mehlhaff and Adrian Arrington, which make up the Saints 42nd Draft Class, be the ones that lead the Bless you Boys to Super Bowl XLIII? And is there a Pierre Thomas in the group?
You die hard followers of Fall ball let me know WHO has to come in right away and make an impact and who’s you’re dark horse to make the Saints Squad in 2008? Time to sound off Saints Fans!!

DeMario Pressley
He has to get in the D-Line rotation in order for the Saints to make a run, and my dark horse to make the team in the SS Roach form TCU.

Tracey Porter
Tracey Porter will prove by the end of the year why he was one of the under rated CBs in the draft.

SEDRICK ELLIS
Sedrick will come in and start at nose tackle. He will be a fource to be dealt with.

Sedrick Ellis
Sedrick will give DE's Grant and Smith the help they desperately need...somebody to occupy blockers up front that will allow them to come around the edge and put pressure on the opposing QB. That formula worked for the Giants!!!!

got to be ellis
Sedrick Ellis will command double teams which will open up Will Smith and Charles Grant and will help open holes for Vilma and Fujita on blitzes

Sedrick Ellis
Sedrick Ellis will come in and make a substantial impact improving the interior D-line,freeing up Vilma to fly around and make plays and Smith and Grant to bring pressure off the edges causing the secondary to play much better.

Roach
Roach will make the team. He has all the physical tools needed to have success.
