Well guys, tell me what you think. I'm trying to get my head around this off-season so far and I'm having a hard time. Let's consider...

I was bitter in the early goings when the Saints let Delhomme go without even making him an offer (although I'm really glad he'll get a chance to start), and I wasn't big on what we paid Gandy (although I like the guy), and I am still concerned about how and why Turley got to be so disgruntled that we had to let our second Pro Bowl caliber tackle go in as many years.

HOWEVER - I'm happy with the signings of Tebucky Jones and Ernie Conwell. Bouman was as good a move as we could have made after Delhomme left and I've only heard good things about Berger.

Again, back to the down side. Ruff is not the solution at MLB... well, at least I have a hard time believing he will be. After letting two of our more talented players go (Knight and Clemons - yes he is a very talented OLB), we didn't do much in free agency to improve our talent on defense.

The draft was so-so to me. I like most of the players we got, I am just concerned that we may have overpaid for a few. This is not something we will be able to figure out for a couple of years, which is why I haven't "graded" our draft, but my initial feelings are decent players, but fairly poor values.

We came into the off-season needing help at basically every defensive position. I like what they've done up front, though one more DT might not hurt. At LB, I'm scared sh-tless. I don't think these guys we have can hack it. We're OK at corner, not great, and I like our safeties... even more so if we sign Green.

I guess I have to agree with Mike Detillier. Two more signings on D will make me feel much better. I still think we need help at EVERY LB position but I'll take a MLB. I'd like to get Horn signed and Green would be nice. Otherwise, if there's room, another DT would be nice. We should wait until next year to go out and find a real shutdown corner rather than making a stretch for someone this year. What do you guys think? I still can't decide. I'll tell you what though, Green and a more proven MLB would make this off-season for me.
