For the last few weeks I have heard from many different sources including this site that the Saints might be interested in making a trade for Mike McKenzie. I have sat back and read public opinion (both good and bad) and have come up with my own: it would be a very big mistake for the Saints to make this trade. However, with new rumors swirling about the Ravens shopping Chris McAlister I can't help but feel the opposite way. McAlister is the premier shutdown corner in the NFL. He could give the Saints a huge on the field boost this season and for years to come. I know many fans think the Saints should wait to draft Corey Webster next year but lets be real the only way the Saints are going to be able to be in that position is if they have a crappy season and who wants that? McAlister would give the Saints a lot of flexibility in their defensive scheme by shutting down an entire section of the field, imagine the possibilites, especially during blitz packages! We have the means to make this trade and we have the money set aside to sign him to a long term deal. Hell if all they want is a first and second rounder for next years draft then give it to them. Nobody in next years draft is going to be near as good as McAlister and we have two second rounders, we can't lose. So Saints fans this time I went first now let me know what you think about my opinion. But please remember this the most valuable commodity on any defense is a good secondary, imagine our team if we had a great one for a change. :)
