i wouldn\'t get too excited about next years CB pool
at least half of those guys will get franchised and the other half will be thrown to the wolves, let\'s not forget that there are about a dozen teams out there that need serious help at corner and almost all of them are more willing to dish out the bucks than we are this brings another point about haz, if we were to go and by some miracle get a big name at coach or perhaps an up and coming D coordinator to take the coaching job, would that coach attract one of these CB\'s? cuz right now i don\'t see anyone turning down big money to play for haz |

I don\'t see anyone turning down big money... period. The question is, will players take LESS money to come play here b/c they feel Haz is a good coach or that they would have a shot at competing for a title? I think the answer is no, and that means players will ask for more money to come to NO than they would to go elsewhere. New Orleans is where players come to die.

Stinchcomb-A 2 year project. Starter in 2005 Holland-1 year project (took even less) Mel Mitchell-2 year project to replace Sammy, (took only one, but he got hurt) Craver-2 year project (he may still bust or boom) Cie Grant-1 year project (injuries might make it 1-1/2) Melvin Willaims-2 year project (ahead of schedule) Charles Grant- 1/2 year project, (worked out well I\'d say) Donte Stallworth-Immediate starter (he\'s approaching BUST at warp drive) J. Sullivan-immediate starter (average results but huge upside for next year) You get the picture. Too many fans want immediate results from all draft picks. Loomis and Haz TRY to do it right. They have made some mistakes, but their procedures look good to me. |

1. Deuce. 2. Charles Grant. 3. Darren Howard. 4. Johnathan Sullivan. 5. Le Charles Bentley. 6. Montre Holland. I think those are 6 real impact players in 3-years. That\'s not bad. Then we have several more players that COULD develop into impact players a little further down the road. The problem is, I don\'t think you can be successful just drafting players. By the time you draft enough players to field a great team, you are going to lose some of those players to free agency. I think the key is to sign some TRUE impact players in free agency. The only TRUE impact player we have singed in free agence is Joe Horn. I think the key for a team to get over the hump is that they have to sign enough TRUE impact players in free agency. For whatever reason, we haven\'t done that. Can that change? I hope so. |

I do agree with your overall premise of Haslett creating his own problems with to many roster moves. [Edited on 12/13/2003 by saint5221] |
