The Ragin Cajuns won their ninth straight last night. Northwestern State is on a five-game winning streak, while McNeese has lost eight in a row.

What should the Saints do with the 29th overall pick in the NFL draft as a result of trading the contractual rights of coach Sean Payton to Denver. Saints analyst Mike Detillier says the quarterback position is a top priority, so bringing in a veteran is likely and there could be a standout signal caller from the SEC late in the first round…

Could that bridge quarterback be former Raiders Q-B Derek Carr. There’s speculation Carr could end up in New Orleans.

The ten game losing streak is the fifth longest in franchise history and they’ll host Lebron James and the Lakers tomorrow.

By gaining a first round pick in the Sean Payton trade, the Saints have seven picks in the N-F-L draft, three take place within the first 71 selections. Should New Orleans use some of those picks to move up in the first round. NFL analyst Mike Detillier says with so many needs, the Saints will need as many picks as possible…

Sean Payton is returning to coaching as he’s agreed to become the new head coach of the Broncos.
