I've been thinking about Grant. He's my favorite Saints player so I don't want to lose him, but if we don't have Horn and we let Grant go how much would that free up? Ninkovich played like an animal before he got hurt so we may be able to lose Grant and still have solid DE's. Wouldn't that free up the money to get someone like Clements and a mad dog MLB while still letting us draft quality players to help out the D and WR spots?

I say leave the TE spot alone. Miller and Campbell did well this year and our recievers are top passing options. I'd also keep Fred Thomas around as a nickel back and to add depth to the secondary.
