Re: Are DE W. Smith and C. Grant worth the Salary Cap R
I don't see Gholston falling past the Jets, however, I have seen crazier things happen (i.e. Brady Quinn falling as far as he did). I just don't see cap space being a big issue for the present time.

Re: Are DE W. Smith and C. Grant worth the Salary Cap R
I don't think either deserve major money. They are one deminsional players however I think W Smith migh be able to apply pressure as he develops more. Just being able to stop the run and not being able to blitz doesn't make you deserve that kind of money.

If by any chance Gholston drops, you take him. He'll be the BPA at 10. There's nothing wrong with having an abundance of talent at DE. Remember that Gholston is fast enough to play standing up... he's not regulated to DE. Think Adalius Thomas.

To me he is the most like Terrell Suggs. He'll be that dominate and a huge playermaker for years to come.

Re: Are DE W. Smith and C. Grant worth the Salary Cap R
There is no way Gholston falls to 10 but if he did we wouldn't hesitate to take him. I think Gholston will be one of the most coveted players on draft day. He is a very unique player because he is a perfect fit for either a 3-4 or 4-3. How many players can you say that about? The Jets and the Pats are dreaming about having him at OLB so there is no way he falls. You might even see a dark horse trade up to get him.
I for one would love to see Verno in a Saints uniform. We would have so many options along the line. On third and long we could move Grant and Smith inside to DT and have McCray and Gholston at end. Maybe then we could get to the QB! |

Re: Are DE W. Smith and C. Grant worth the Salary Cap R
I voted for neither, if we Sign Smith to big money we will have two DE's makin a lot of money but are average players.
