Kaesviharn, a 6-1, 196-pound safety from Augustana (S.D.), completed his sixth NFL season (all with the Cincinnati Bengals) in 2006. The native of Lakewood, California went from an undrafted rookie free agent to a mainstay in the Cincinnati defensive backfield and has collected 363 career tackles in 87 games played, as well as collecting 15 career interceptions, six sacks and 28 passes defensed. Kaesviharn is the third free agent safety that the Saints have visted with, joining Seattle's Ken Hamlin and Jacksonville's Deon Grant.

Johnson, 6-3, 256-pounds, a tight end out of Yale, has been one of the most prolific pass catching tight ends in the NFL when on the field over the course of the past five seasons. Despite missing the 2003 and 2005 seasons due to unrelated injuries, Johnson has registered 192 receptions for 1,800 yards during his seven year career, including an NFL 82 receptions (best among tight ends) in 2004, when he was the 49ers' primary offensive weapon.

If we get at least one of CBs we visited with, and then Eric Johnson, then a safety or two, The draft becomes more and more interesting.

This is what I have been waiting for for a week now.

I bet Keven Kaesviharn leaves town a Saint. Then Boba would be 4 for 4.

I like Kevin, he is a great TEAM safety. We could also get Grant from the Jags and I would be happy.

I would love to land Eric. He has been plagued by some injuries the last couple of seasons but would be a great fit for our offense and a even greater target for Brees (good hands person).

I think we should draft a tight end. We just dumped one injury riddled TE. I don't think we should replace him with another one. Just saying.
