The Saints made a bold move to select a pass rusher they desperately wanted last night. New Orleans sent three picks to Green Bay, including next year’s first round selection, to get the Packers 14th overall selection and with that pick the Black and Gold took University of Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport. He’s been labeled a freakish athlete who can get after the quarterback off the edge. Head Coach Sean Payton says Davenport is also a smart player….

The Saints have one more pick tonight and that’s a late third round selection.

LSU running back Derrius Guice is still waiting to be picked. It’s the third time in the last four years that the Tigers did not have a player selected in the first round.

Several Tigers could be drafted today. We already talked about Guice, but wide receiver DJ Chark from Alexandria should be a second round selection according to draft analyst Mike Detillier…

Chark ran 4.34 in the 40, the fastest wide receiver time in the draft. Another speedster, cornerback Donte Jackson is also expected to be a second round pick.

LSU’s bullpen is a mess. The Tigers gave up 11 runs in the sixth inning and lost to Ole Miss 14-3. It’s the Bayou Bengals fourth straight loss in the SEC. John Kordros, Matthew Beck and Taylor Peterson each gave up multiple runs in that sixth inning. The Tigers will try again at 6:30.
