What a great signing. There were a few good ones during the Mora years but I can't really think of anyone better off the top of my head.

He's pretty great considering how horrible 07 was with David. I remember just thinking how horribly abused he got every single game.

I've seen virtually every game Waymer played as a Saint. He eventually developed into a fine CB, one of the first legit CBs the Saints ever had. He struggled in coverage early in his career though and in my opinion, was never the cover guy J Greer is. If memory serves me correctly, he eventually moved to safety and played really well there too.

I forgot about Allen. He's probably the closest thing to Greer we've had. I'd still take Greer over the version of Eric Allen that played with the Saints I think

I think Jabari is the most well rounded CB weve had. He quietly never gets burnt. IMO he is as consistant of a player we have. Sharper is the greatest Saints DB of all time and its not even close. Sammy Knight was amazing but Sharper has a knack for making back breaking plays and he also made EVERYONE in the deffensive backfield a lot better.
