Jeff Reese and I took a look at the Royals system over at Bullpen Banter. Still looking great despite the graduations, injuries and some sideways seasons.

What Will it mean for Will?

"5. Will Smith(notes), DE, New Orleans Saints ...I see a big year in New Orleans for the former first-round pick." Maybe so...but the pick seems pedestrian to me. Smith will be sitting at home for the first four weeks. You want to go out farther on the limb? Bobby McCray. He led the Saints in sacks in 2008, and he's already issued a challenge to the other defensive ends by declaring he'll start. You want to go even farther out? Anthony Hargrove. Under Gregg Williams, either of them could lead the league in sacks by the Saints' bye week. Maybe they'll be tied for the lead. Yeahhhh...
