Or they are the Miami Dolphins who signed Culpepper instead of Brees. For Brees, it was essentially either N.O. or Miami - and Miami had a legitimate shot. Brees picks NO and Miami trades for Culpepper.

In looking for something on the story, I found this: The full story on why Brees isn't a Dolphin | Miami Dolphins In Depth

Reading it, I remember the draft where Miami passed on Brees. In it SD and Atlanta traded spots in the first round and SD got Tomlinson and Brees and Atlanta got Vick. Brees was the 2nd QB off the board after Vick as the first pick in the 2nd round. Interesting how these things play out.
