Saints already have a "big ticket" DE in Smith, and with his salary I think they should try to stay young and hopefully hungry with their DE corps, so that they can have multiple quality guys to rotate instead of just a few stars.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think Osi would be better than getting a 3rd rounder who's not proven yet. You're actually picking Osi with a 3rd pick if you want to look at it that way. Thats some fantasy draft type s***. LOL. Lets be honest our gems that we've picked in the 3rd round and lower have mostly been offensive players. I just don't think that someone whose won 2 SBs, can be another leader on the field, has played under our DC, and is a hell of a DE isn't worth a 3rd round pick....its not a 1st round pick we're talkin about here.

If it can be done I say go for it. Osi might be a little older but he still has just as much as Brees has left in the tank. Dude played 9 games last year and go 9 sacks. No one on this team came anywhere near that last season and our DEs played in more games or an entire season. And since 2005, everytime he's had a single digit sack season he follows it up with over 10.
