Terrible situation to end up in. I think he goes to a team that has some talent. McAllister, Horn and Stallworth are nice players to have as a rookie. I can't say that he's going to like being in N.O. since the city has about 1/3 of its population, the place is fucked up, home field questions and an owner that would like nothing more than to move out of town.

I guess we'll really see what kind QB he is.

I think Leinart is going to be a helluva NFL QB. He'll take his lumps like any rookie on a cruddy team but he can't do any worse than Aaron Brooks. Brooks is simply one of the dumbest QB's that I have ever seen.

McNair is dead set on coming back. The Titans are going to have to pay him a sick amount of cash though. Volek has a lot of game as the backup. Where would Leinart fit in?
The Saints have zilch at the QB position. I think that SF ended up with the third pick. I could see them making a play for Leinart. They had him slotted for that #1 pick last year and got "stuck" with Alex Smith. Far too soon to pass judgment on Smith but he didn't look good at all this year.

Draft Order (1-5):
1. Houston
2. New Orleans
3. Tennessee
4. New York Jets
5. Green Bay
I thought that I saw SF with the third pick too. This order was in the paper this morning.

I personally think they should adopt a draft lottery like the NBA and NHL have for non-playoff teams.

Determining Order of Selection
• The team with the lowest winning percentage at the end of the previous season drafts first in the NFL Draft.
• The rest of the teams are placed in order from lowest winning percentage to the highest.
• The Super Bowl winner drafts last, even if they do not have the highest winning percentage.
• The Super Bowl loser drafts next to last.
• Strength of schedule for the previous season is the first tie-breaker for teams with the same winning percentage.
• Divisional and conference records are the next step in the tie-breaking procedure.
• As a last resort, a coin toss is used to determine the order of selection for teams with the same winning percentage.
• If a playoff and non-playoff team end the season with the same winning percentage, the non-playoff team selects before the playoff team regardless of strength of schedule.

Leinart presumably to go to the Saints is easy to guess.
The next question is, will he have a coach other than Haslett?
I haven't heard anything other than speculation at this point.
Guess Nawlins management isn't eager to get in on the competition for headline space! :P
