Marques Douglas DE - who?
Warrick Dunn RB - washed up.
Jeff Faine C Scouting Grade - average center.
John Gilmore TE - who?
Leon Joe LB - who? lol.
Teddy Lehman LB - ...?
Matt McCoy LB - lol.
Ben Troupe TE - solid addition.
Jimmy Wilkerson DE - eh =\.
Eugene Wilson DB - good pickup

they picked up some decent players I guess. JUST the addition of Gay to our team made us a 12 win team, not even counting Vilma/Morgan etc.

Now that's funny......relying on a guy who played mostly nickel in NE to help us 12 wins....ROFLMAO!!!!! Gay is a solid addition for depth, but in my opinion he wont be a superstar, better than David tho, hell yeah.

So let me get this straight, by picking up all those players the Bucs haven't done much to help their team but by us signing JUST R. Gay we will have 12 wins next year? Are you serious? That is just a delusional statement. IMHO none of the players we have signed could single handedly turn us into a 12 win team. I think that all of their efforts combined will help us get to the 12 win range. I say that because we would've made the playoffs last year had we stayed healthy. We aren't that far away from being a true force in the NFC but the signing of one marginal starter at CB will not turn us into a 12 win team.

It seems like it's hard for alot of us Saints fans to give the Bucs credit for winning the NFC South last year. Some seem to think it was just a fluke that they swept us and won the division. I wish I could say that it was a fluke but it wasn't. They weren't a great team but they were a good team with alot of young talent. So far this offseason I feel like they have done a better job than we have at addressing their team specific needs. Sure, they haven't brought in the risky big names that we have but that's because they didn't need to. We have been desperate for a playmaking LB basically since The Dome Patrol so rolling the dice on a couple of "damaged" players was a risk we needed to take. The FO thought that the risk was worth the potential reward and it is because if healthy Vilma and Morgan will be beasts. I don't think we've done enough to address our specific needs at DT, TE, CB, and S so far this offseason. But like I said before, if we make a few more moves and have a good draft we could easliy have the best offseason in the NFC South.
