New Orleans Saints 2012 Draft Picks (and undrafted RFA’s)

Akiem Hicks

We’re really excited about our pick, Akiem Hicks. It’s a guy that we really studied. As late as Friday, I would say we spent an hour and a half to two hours on this player.

Evaluating the Detroit Lions’ draft after two days

Riley Reiff drafted no. 23 overall

When the Detroit Lions were called to the podium yesterday, even I had no idea whose name guest announcer Calvin Johnson would call.  When he said the name Riley Reiff, I probably got more excited than most.
