the dude is giant, even when he gets blocked, he still wins the battle. if he stalemates the offensive linemen then he wins the battle. there isnt a guy in the league right now who could block him consistantly and he would greatly increase our ability to stop the run. that would be a huge advantage in a division that runs the ball more than any other division in football everyone in our division runs the ball to set up the pass. we stop the run and we make them 1 dimensional. everybody knows how deadly we are on defense when we know they are passing |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft
I wouldn't mind keeping McCray, and drafting a huge DT. I agree Canton. Cody is going to have to keep his weight in check though. He looked terrible in those pictures at the Senior Bowl.
I think McCray should be re-signed. He looked good coming off the edge, and he showed up big in the play offs. |

I don't think he has the build or is in good enough shape to do that. I could be wrong though.

Reggie can't be kept at this current projected salary... But he's got to be smart and realize his best value is to stay put in Payton's offense and make the marketing money on a winning team... |

Be interesting to see if Benson pulls the purse strings back now that he's got the Lombardi (well two if you count the QB coach)... Hope Ms Rita is ready to take the reigns and figure out a way to keep this market competitive like Pittsburgh has managed to do so... |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft
Did I say we need Defensive Tackle"s"? Love the Role Players but we need a monster in da middle
A new starting Defensive End? Grant's Gotta Geaux! A Strong Safety (and possibly) a Free Safety with Sharper a FA? Jenkins, Vaughn enough? An outside linebacker to groom behind Fujita and Shanle... A Left Tackle (not sure Jammal is going to stay with no leverage)... A Center (Goodwin struggled at times)... And a Wide Receiver?!? |

Re: 2010 NFL Draft
I see what you are saying about FA, but at the same time, with this final eight rule, the only players we really can concentrate on are the ones already in our ranks.
Out of all of them, I think Fujita, is most likely the one to go, because word from the Saints is, that Sharper will be one of the first we lock up. I'm curious why you think we need another WR? |
