How would you grade our offseason so far?

I give it a B
I really would have liked to get a really good corner (Malcolm Butler), we are in desperate need at corner. But I do believe we have become a better football team. Also from what I have heard, Larry Warford is a really good guard.

B also. Resigned Fairley cheaper than expected. Grabbed a pretty good G with room to grow. Resigned our best CB from last season, not counting Breaux b/c he was hurt so much. Added more competition to LB core with young guys, but have decent experience. Haven't broken the bank..........yet. Also I liked the signing of Ginn.
ETA: And Okafor was a decent signing from a guy who is still young and has played good football in the NFL before.

I wont give it a letter grade because I'm certain the butler trade will still be made. However, I'll say I think this is the best offseason we've had in years. Getting butler while keeping 11 and possibly 32 would easily make it an A+

Coach changes alone make me rate it an A. Long over due but at least they did it.

B
coach changes (firings of our beloved)
quality signings (klein/warford)
not overpaying for talent (fairley)
low risk-high reward (okafor/te'o)
I'd say
A if we get butler for a reasonable price/pick
A if we kept cooks

I would trade #32 for Butler in a heartbeat. With the passing game so prevalent right now, you need quality corners more than ever.

Incomplete so far. I'll grade it closer to the draft.
Only moves I disliked are losing John Morton, trading Cooks, giving Klein big money, and losing Edebali.
BUT we replaced Morton with Curtis Johnson and did get a 1st rounder for Cooks. And I'm willing to wait to see Klein play before passing final judgement, but $5 mil per seemed like a lot for him.
Loved the firings of the coaches. Loved bringing in Nolan. Loved bringing back Johnson. Loved keeping Fairley and Moore. Loved getting Warford, Ginn, and Okafor. Like Te'o if he's cheap.
I'll like the Butler trade if it's for 32, but love it if it's for less.
Anything I miss?

i'll hold my grade until week 8

if you look around the league and then see what the Saints have done so far, not sure this hasnt been an "A" offseason. And I'm sure the Butler deal will only solidify that.

Even if we don't hit in the draft, coaches being fired makes it an easy A+.
Posted on 3/21/17 at 9:15 pm to tigerforever7
Saints drained the swamp with D coaches and that's an A, free agents solid b+
Posted on 3/22/17 at 7:46 am to tigerforever7
A+ Simply for the coaching changes we finally made

I give it:
The Butler trade decides if my bee stops urinating.
