re: Payton comments on Jenkins Pick

good names P

I liked this summation from T-P Duncan-

Over the past 15 months, the Saints have embarked on one of the most aggressive overhauls in the league. Twenty-two of the 36 defensive players on the current roster have been signed, drafted or traded for during that span.
The extreme makeover includes five cornerbacks, five linebackers, five defensive ends, four defensive tackles, three safeties, and, of course, one very celebrated defensive coordinator.
"Our time is now with Brees, " Payton said.
Not surprisingly, the biggest change has occurred in the secondary, where the Saints have added five players since March. Four of the five are expected to challenge for starting spots, including rookie cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and rookie safety Chip Vaughn who were added to the mix over the weekend.
The top five cornerbacks on the roster -- Jenkins, Tracy Porter, Randall Gay, Jabari Greer and Leigh Torrence -- have all been added in the past year.
With Gay and Greer on the left side and Porter and Jenkins on the right, the Saints will boast the most talented set of cornerbacks in club history and arguably one of the deepest groups in the league.
The Saints are so deep at the position they've elected to move one of their promising young corners, Usama Young, to free safety.
They're so deep at corner, a couple of clubs tried to trade for Gay over the weekend after the Saints drafted Jenkins on Saturday. When's the last time the Saints had a cornerback that someone else wanted to trade for? And Gay might only be the third or fourth best corner on the roster this season.

it's just on paper now but I'd have to backtrack rosters to find when the DB's were this good and deep.

If GW's hyper aggressive scheme can move the pressure/sack total from 28 past the league avearge to, say 38-40, they will be top 10+. That coupled with the new DB's & scheme brings the highest performance expectation I can remember since the dome patrol days.
