So, do you package the 2nd and 5th for Shockey?

I disagree. The Saints really are more like Jacksonville at this point as opposed to the Ravens. The defense needed holes filled:

CB: Gay
LB: Vilma and hopefully Morgan
DT: Ellis
S: Hopefully KK will play a lot more.

The defense is now much closer to a defense that can win a championship.

The Ravens are rebuilding. The Saints are not. We don't need 8000 picks like the Ravens, Falcons, and Chiefs.

We got the guy that we needed. I am truly happy with the trade and the pick.

I agree this move makes us instant SB contenders.
