Saints to Set Up Draft War Room at Local Brewery

The New Orleans Saints are holding their pre-draft meetings at the Dixie Brewing with only a few people, such as coach Sean Payton GM Mickey Loomis and assistant GM Jeff Ireland, spread out in one room and a number of scouts Skyping in, Payton said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

Payton said the team would plan on conducting their draft at the brewery, as well.

The local New Orleans brewery is owned by Saints owner Gayle Benson and re-opened this past January after shuttering its original doors in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
