Saints to wine, dine prospects - New Orleans Times-Picayune
The Saints will bring in five of the top players in the upcoming NFL draft next Tuesday, have dinner with all five that evening, then meet with the players separately...

...The team plans to visit with Southern California running back Reggie Bush, USC quarterback Matt Leinart...D'Brickashaw Ferguson...Mario Williams and...A.J. Hawk...

...the Saints have narrowed their choice to one of those five players and will use their first-round draft choice, currently the second overall selection, to take one of them...

...Bringing players to town for individual meetings isn't unusual, but convening them for a group session is somewhat eye-opening...
