"We're gonna turn things around today Sean."

"You're the first coach I looked for when I got hired — and Gary, today we start the march to the Super Bowl."

As New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton finishes his to-the-point conversation with Defensive Coordinator Gary Gibbs, he slowly glances around the room and looks at the faces that break up the silence around him.

Meanwhile, Owner Tom Benson and Executive Vice President Mickey Loomis are sitting on opposite ends of the table having a contest to see whose billboard forehead can hold the most sweat.

Vice President of Player Personnel Rick Mueller is staring at Loomis thinking to himself, "I am going to make this goon look like a genius again this year."

Payton glances back at the clock then quickly makes eye contact with secondary coach Tom Hayes as if to say, "Lets go."

"The New Orleans Saints are on the clock."

Payton says, "Alright guys — we know what move we want to make here. But, lets wait and see if anything develops."

Out to the NFL draft room sits "Berm," who's blood pressure seems to be rising by the second; Mel Kiper Jr., who looks like he just fell offscreen from a private showing of The Outsiders with his slicked back hair; Steve Young, whom by the way, is still thanking Bill Walsh for getting him out of Tampa in '87 and getting him this job with ESPN; Keyshawn Johnson, who's just glad to get away from Steve Smith for a while and Colin Cowherd, who is just looking for the next opportune time to call someone a jackass.

"Thanks for that report Mort. Last season the New Orleans Saints were just one game away from the big game and Mel, what is it going to take for the Saints to get over that hump this year?"

"Well I think it's quite obvious Colin. New Orleans has to go cornerback here with the 27th pick. Last season the Saints ranked a stellar third in pass defense, but Mike McKenzie and Fred Thomas are on the decline.

"I like the youth at the safety positions with a couple off second-rounders in Josh Bullocks and Roman Harper out of Alabama, but the Saints need youth at corner, Keyshawn?"

"With Darrelle Revis and Leon Hall already taken, I think the Saints have to go with Chris Houston out of Arkansas. This guy was able to shutdown Robert Meachem and Dwayne Jarrett last season, and as a wide receiver I have to say that's impressive."

Young then adds, "Lets not forget about big Paul Posluszny who fits the need at linebacker. We could see them trade down to the first pick of the second round with Chicago.

"The Bears seem devoted to Ben Grubs out of Auburn and may give up a fourth round pick to eliminate the risk of the Ravens taking him with the twenty ninth pick."

Back in the war room, Mueller is holding three phones and alerting Payton of the Bears' interest.

"We've got one minute on the clock Sean. You make the call, but I think we have to go with Posluszny. But, if we do go with Chris Houston, we may have a shot at David Harris from Michigan in the second."

Then Loomis finally speaks up, "Not if Sydney Rice is still on the board."

"We've got 25 seconds coach"

Payton replies, "Make the phone call Rick!"

Back to set Chris Berman makes the announcement, "Well it looks like the Saints decided to keep a trade away from the team that kept them out of the Super Bowl and have chosen cornerback Chris Houston out of Arkansas with the twenty seventh overall pick."

We can imagine a million different scenarios before draft day, but the bottom line is that there is no exact science to the NFL Draft.

Things aren't as complicated as media members make them out, and even the so-called experts don't truly know what's going happen until that red clock reads 00:00:00.

We all wonder what goes on in the war room, but one thing we know is for sure: Everyone's looking for the next sixth-round Super Bowl MVP.
