If we can sure up safety or get an decent DB in free agency that were sure make our first round draft pick a lot more interesting. I hope we go defense with our first pick or OL if we have a good defensive free agency. Peyton love defense in FA meaning theres a good chance he could draft a fancy offensive skill position like he's famous for with the 1st pick.

not a bad list here that you can manipulate by position etc...

1. are we gunna resign vilma? he was our leader i think hed be a huge loss

2. any of these guys realistically coming to nola?

i say with the new dc we got . get a big man like tank johnson in the middle to help free up elis and the other 3 de,s we got . why wish for a big name guy knowing benson wont pay him to come here .then in the draft we can draft ray kid coming out of usc for a young olb to place on the side of vilma .then do whatever we can to get dawkins in here to sure up the safety spot ... its not going to help us if the saints cant get to the qb. teams got to know that we going to come after them and not play cover 2 or play soft . with a big inside man like tank in the line up with elis and will ,grant, mccray who will they double team then. plus think of this smith/or grant might be gone for 4 games if he dont win the court thing .tank will be cheap ,also give pacman a shot but with little money and just make it more of a bonus contract if he cant act right then cut him and little will hurt the cap room . then we need to do something to get dawkins in here . what do yall think ?

These are the players that I personally think would fit well into the Saints roster. The one's that are bolded I think the Saints should give a legitimate look.

Hopefully Williams will have some say into finally bulking up the D, which a tremendous start would be with guys like Nnamdi Asomugha, Shaun Cody, Julius Peppers and Terrell Suggs.

Brandon Jacobs would be a great Power Back to compliment Bush.

Salary cap issues are gonna force us to not look at most of your bolded list, unless some serious restructuring of contracts happens.

I say we just sign everyone in bold, see how far they can take us next year, and then just cut 'em all after the fun experiment

you know, '97 Florida Marlins style
