Saints’ Draft Choices Create Excitement

Enthusiasm surrounds the New Orleans Saints, after their selections in the 2011 NFL Draft.  Mike Triplett, of the Times-Picayune, has the story, below.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (L) poses for a photo with Mark Ingram, #28 overall pick by the New Orleans Saints, holds up a jersey on stage during the 2011 NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall on April 28, 2011 in New York City.

The New Orleans Saints didn't immediately schedule a victory parade through downtown New Orleans to celebrate their performance in this year's NFL draft.

As General Manager Mickey Loomis and Coach Sean Payton both reminded, it will probably take three or four years before the Saints' selections of California defensive end Cameron Jordan, Alabama tailback Mark Ingram, Illinois linebacker Martez Wilson and others can be evaluated.
