Re: Asante to Saints a "done deal"
SaintPaul, as always is the calmer head of the bunch.
Ellis and Dorsey still have Pro-Day to show their value. Don't count on them dropping. The only one I see dropping into our lap is Rivers; and that's almost asking too much. Gholston would be my next choice. The Samuel signing IS a big deal and not just for the reason you think. 1. It means this team is ready to spend some money (FINALLY)! 2. If they don't go after Vilma, a LB will be drafted 1st. By either trading up or down. 3. David may not be the other starter. 4. I may not even be close to the reality of what is about to happen. |

Both Grant and Smith seemed to be 20 pounds over-weight. |

Re: Asante to Saints a "done deal"
Someone on here yesterday said he waited a table on Grant and that he had lost some weight. So, I am not too sure he can play every down at DT. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Re: Asante to Saints a "done deal"
If we pick up Asante, JD is an spacefiller. MM might not be ready for the begining of the season. Usama needs to really kick butt at training camp. Again, IF we pick up Asante.

We could then address corner in the second round as this looks to be a deep corner draft.
Samuel and Vilma/Gold would add instant impact to our defense. There are certainly still upgrades to be made, but with those two, Grant, Smith, and few role players here and there, our defense could once again be at the least credible, if not better. |

Re: Asante to Saints a "done deal"
Unfortunately, The same website that is reporting Asante to the Saints is reporting Vilma to the Lions. Which rumor would you rather be right? "VILMA TO LIONS? The New York Jets are shopping linebacker Jonathan Vilma, a 4-3 defender who has struggled in coach Eric Mangini's 3-4 system. A league source tells us that the current favorites to land Vilma are the Lions. Another question mark regarding Vilma is a knee injury that significantly limited him in 2007. If healthy, he's capable of creating real havoc." |
