Happy Marriage of the two this year; most respectable analyst applaud Herr Peyton and his moves (No, Mickey we're gonna do it this way)...

I think the free agent moves actually helped the Saints with their draft. I really didn't see any major reaches by the Saints. If free agency would have been a disaster, the Saints would have been forced to make a few reaches for need players in the draft. I am glad to finally see the coaching staff make a full commitment to the defensive side of the ball.

A very good answer.
To answer the question outright I'd say that the off-season moves were better. Just as MatthewT said, the free agent moves helped the draft. Also, we know what the players the Saints picked up in free agency are capable of in the NFL. We are all hoping that Vilma is healthy again, that McCray can get 10 sacks this season, that Morgan can stay healthy and be a stud, and that Gay can be a good corner in New Orleans.

That said, the 2008 draft for the Saints appears to be far superior to the 2007 draft. I'm very content.

I will believe in the people who know more about the draft, than I do and be happy they got who they wanted to get.

Re: Better Draft or Better Offseason moves?

I think we did well both in FA and in the draft.
