Frankly, the Robert Meachem puff piece was easy to see coming. It happens every year with first-round picks who struggle as rookies. Meachem has been getting positive writeups every other day this offseason because he's healthy and has a good attitude.

I'm not buying it just yet. While Meachem was often hurt last year, he was healthy enough to practice most of the season and still couldn't get on the field. I've done a little sleuthing, and the word in New Orleans was that his confidence was shot. He wasn't ready for the pro game. I look at all these raves from the GM and coaching staff and see a team trying to build a young man up. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm holding out.

I saw a similar pattern a few years back in New Orleans with another young receiver, Devery Henderson, who couldn't get on the field as a rookie after leaving the SEC. Henderson never truly developed. Now Henderson and Meachem are battling for a role on the team, with an outside chance to start. Fantasy leaguers can stay away from the winner.
