1. (27) Robert Meachem, WR

The Saints were thought of to be thinking defense in the draft, but they shifted gears and added some more firepower for Drew Brees and the offense.  With Joe Horn leaving as a free agent the Saints needed another starting WR, so they selected the receiver with the highest upside in this draft.  The thought of Meachem and Colston lining up at WR must already be giving opposing defensive co-ordinators nightmares.  Meachem is big (6′2″, 214) and he’s fast (4.35 40) so he should fit right in on the Saints offense.  Meachem played in 37 games (15 starts) at Tennessee and he caught 125 passes for 2,140 yards (17.1 avg) with 17 TD grabs.  The Saints offense will be even more explosive in 2007 than it was in 2006, with this outstanding draft pick.
