2007 New Orleans Saints Draft Selections
Scouting report: Latest in a long list of Tennessee receivers to go high in the NFL draft. … Came on strong in his junior season last year with 71 catches for 1,298 yards and 11 TDs and averaged 18.3 yards per catch. … His 125 career receptions rank him fifth on the school’s all-time list.
Scouting report: Four-year starter who is considered to be one of the top defensive players to come out of Kent State since the Jack Lambert era in the early 1970s. Moved into the starting lineup as a freshman and earned a reputation as a shutdown corner and a physical tackler. Ran times of 4.39 and 4.40 seconds at his Pro Day workout.
Scouting report: Started his career at Pittsburgh before transferring to Kent in 2004. … Started 24 games at right guard after establishing himself as one of the team’s top workers in the weight room. … Set several school records, including 465 pounds in the bench press and 595 pounds in the squat.
Scouting report: A good inside runner who rushed for more than 2,500 yards in his last two seasons. … Also showed an ability to catch the ball out of the backfield with 31 receptions in the last two years. … Possesses good speed with a time of 4.40 seconds in the 40. … Averaged 5.3 yards per carry for his career and scored 22 touchdowns — including 14 in 2006.
Scouting report: A mammoth four-year starter at left tackle at the Division I-AA level, the Saints will likely keep him at that position even though many scouts projected him to play guard. … Bushrod excels at pass blocking although he’s considered to be a capable run blocker as well.
Scouting report: Even though he’s a relatively unknown from tiny Wingate University, Saints coach Sean Payton said scouts liked Jones’ measurables and productivity. … Jones was a first-team All-South Atlantic Conference pick and Division II All-America selection in 2006.
Scouting report: Started all 13 games for the Vols at inside linebacker last season and was voted a permanent team captain before the season finale. … After playing sparingly in his first three seasons, he earned a starting job in 2006 and finished with 104 tackles.
