Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
I'd sign
Asante Samuel Alan Faneca Dallas Clark I'd draft 1st: Kenny Phillips 2nd: Chevis Jackson or Erin Henderson 3rd: Best available LB 4th: Best available CB 5th: Best available DT 6th: Matt Flynn |
Re: Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
First thing, bring charges against Jason "3rd Down" David for impersonating an NFL CB... then cut his lil' behind
... then re-work Colston's contract No to Samuel: yes to Asomugha if he isn't tagged Yes to Faneca Clark is not leaving Indy. Draft.... I like Phillips, but would have a hard time picking between him and Talib... |

Re: Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
Very good question... There are lots of areas to address. The thing I would put at the priority list is getting Gary Gibbs the players he needs to get him back into coaching his 3-4 defensive scheme. I would put my main focus on that first. To make this happen, it's going to be a handful of so called second tier guys in free agency. There is really no such thing as prime free agents anymore, thanks to teams finally learning how to manage the salary cap.
The second move is getting more help through the draft. Kenny Phillips should be a very nice start. More than that, the focus should be on what players can make a difference on defense. This upcoming draft should absolutely have no offensive players involved. Should be seven picks, all defense. More specifically, players who could excel in the 3-4 scheme. On offense, basically the core is still together and that should be fine. A backup QB is needed, I would go the veteran route. Maybe a guy like McCown from Oakland could be it. Resigning Martin would not be the worse idea in the world, although I think an upgrade is needed. As for WR it's time to get Colston signed to an extended contract, and let Meachum hit the field. As a GM I will probably let Henderson and Copper walk, unless they are talking moderate contract terms. As for a kicker, no need to worry. As a GM I would be OK with Gramatica and Mare battling it out, and maybe bring in a free agent who wasn't drafted. Let the best man win. One last spot to think about is the RB position. As a GM I am totally happy right now with Bush, Thomas, and Karney. What I would do a little different is bring in another fullback. I would like to see 2 FB and 3 RB. Karney could be lethal as a spot duty RB with another FB leading the way. There should be a lot of interest in bringing in Michael Turner and as a GM I am going to try my best to get him in a Saints uniform. As far as Deuce goes, I am pulling for him and hope he makes the team, but as a GM I am not counting on it. |

Ask Payton what he needs to bring a superbowl championship to Nawlins
Then pretty much what Matthew T said, its like you read my mind there man. |
Re: Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
FA:
1) A Captain for the Defense. LB,S whatever. Just a drew type of leader. 2) YOUTH for CB and DT, You can live with the growing pains here. It can not get any worse than the past two years. But at least you have a start for once. Mid level FA are fine. it is a start 3) WR for the #2/#3 position. long term goal of playing #3 because meachem will produce by the third year and be the #2 we drafted him to be. 4) Sign Colston and Smith to long term deals and get it out of the way for next year. Draft: Wheel and deal like 2 years ago moving up and down the draft board in each round aquiring picks and/or players. well more down than up, please. We are not young enough or deep enough to make too many moves up the board. The OL is the only postion we are deep enough to do that with, but there are too many questions yet unanswered about the least two years of draft picks to do anything. If there is a starter in the wings, at Tackle, our best trade bait is Stinch. He is in his last year of his contract. Other than that we do not have much. any other position would hurt the team. But do not be affraid to make a move because of it. Be smart though. So go with the BPA for each and every round. Get as many picks as possible. Please try at least to get yourself into position so the defense has a chance to be that BPA. We can afford to reach once in a while. Just do not go nuts. |

So if I were GM I'd build a solid defense, make sure that we had the personnel to run the football, then go ask Coach what else he needs. So then I agree that... Quote:

Re: Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
Good Points SHIAH. You too Hagan.
I really think Payton also depends too much on small schools. Yes, you can find "A diamond in the ruff", but jeez, at least in the late rounds pick an SEC guy. |

Now, we will over-look SEC schools for more "Diamonds" in these small schools.x( |

I posted this on earlier this offseason... but this is what I'd like for us to do. Quote:
We really need to address getting a pass rushing specialist this offseason. We cannot continue to rush 4 guys with Smith only being the effective one. Get an edge speed rusher and move Grant inside on third downs. As I said up there, I think Groves can be that guy. One more thing if we take a kicker in the draft, that guys needs to be Brandon Coutu. This kid has one hell of a leg. 60 yarders for this kid would be a cake walk. |

Well, I wouldn't be sitting around with a bowl of popcorn watching playoff games and twiddling my thumbs! Geez, DO something Saints |
Re: Your the Saints GM, what would you do this off-season???
I think what we do in the draft will depend on free agency.
a - If we sign a playmaking linebacker (Briggs) we should look at DBs or maybe sedrick ellis if he falls at #10. b- If we sign a playmaking DB (Samuel, Trufant) we should look at possibly trading out of the 10 pick. I feel that the value we have with the number 41 pick will be huge. #10 is an awkward position this year considering our needs. There will be more LBs, DTs, or DBs worth more at 41 than at 10. I would not feel bad about trading out of the 10 to later in the 1st round if the offer is right. Extend Colston, Smith. Faneca would be nice but expensive if we want to extend colston and smith. |

1. Sign Samuel and Gay at all cost and yes that means even giving up some draft picks for next year, not this draft. Thomas becomes a coach. We also need to sign a mid-level FA to replace Bellamy.
2. Sign a quality DT FA like Simon or Haynesworth if possible and yes that means even giving up a draft pick next year, not this year. Re-sign Wynn and Young and Give Smith his long term deal. 3. Sign Daunte Culpepper to back up Drew. Rocket arm and can play well in spurts and knows he's a backup. Cut Martin. 4. Re-sign Patten and Henderson. Moore and Meachem will be big next year. We may want to extend Colston now to show some good faith. 5. Pound Deuce until the wheels fall off. Keep PT as his backup along with Stecker, Karneyand Branch. Bush will be punt returner, kickoff returner, wide receiver, running back, etc., The Matrix so to speak. 6. Re-sign Johnson and Miller, we also have Ghent. 7. Maybe a replacement for Nesbit or we could keep him, either way it's OK. 8. Re-sign Simoneau. If all of the other defensive pieces fall into place the linebackers will be much improved. 9. Cut Mare and Gramatica. The Draft: 1st Round Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas 2nd Round Dre Moore, DT, Maryland 3rd Round Beau Bell, ILB, UNLV 4th Round David Vobaro, OLB, Idaho 5th Round Andy Studebaker, OLB, Wheaton 6th Round Alexis Serna, Kicker, Oregon State 7th Round Terrell Vinson, CB Purdue |
