Seems every year the Saints make a big FA signing, from CJ Spiller, to Jarius Byrd, to Curtis Lofton it seems they sign someone.

Who could you see the Saints signing this year? Olivier Vernon (DE from the Dolphins) maybe?

Alex Boone, if I'm spending money I'm gonna fix one thing I know I can fix and fix it correctly.

Hopefully nobody with a big name. Give me the "Who the hell is that?" that ends up being a reliable solid starter.

I don't know the who. But I do know the Saints M.O. in the past is to fill absolute needs during free agency and let the draft play out for BPA.

Needs:

A steady presence at safety.
At least one quality starting guard.
Def Tackle.
Pass rusher.
A LB who can cover.

The only one of these I see too costly to get as a FA is 'pass rusher'. This position I think will be gotten through the draft.

All of the other needs I hope can be filled without breaking the bank.

I'd rather us go for a defensive back in the FA and a defensive lineman in the draft (hopefully A'shawn)

WR's of possible interest
Percy Harvin
Brian Quick
Mohamed Sanu
Marvin Jones
Rishard Matthews

TE's
Jermaine Gresham
Coby Fleener
Ladarius Green
Vernon Davis

considering what we paid to get Grubbs here I would like to address G in the draft.

CB has some decent names this year but we do not appear to be in the market to grab a top tier guy...so scouting would have to do their homework on a sleeper from that pool.

I think WR is only a 'need' if Colston retires and they think Coleman has hit his ceiling.

TE is another area I could see them target aggressively in FA. Good call and a good list

Are there any free agents from LSU?

We need to take a look at them.

Mo Claiborne and Ron Brooks at CB are available 1992

Potential DE targets could be
Derrick Shelby DE
Olivier Vernon DE - may not be feasible
Andre Branch DE
Jason Jones DE

Shelby,Branch, and Jones are rotational ends that can provide pressure like a Bobby McCray. We would still draft early at the position but any of those names would provide quality depth whereas Vernon would be a starter.
