2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets

FinSaint · 03-27-2013, 09:00 AM

Apparently the main reason why Starks isn't being re-signed by the Steelers is that he lacks the mobility to be an effective upfield blocker - sounds to me that's something the Saints would need out of their LT as well.

better get one early in the draft and line the blocking TE on the left and all backs must be at there best this year.

Chris Faulk, OT, LSU is looking better and better in rounds 3 and 4.

Michael Williams, TE, Alabama put a few pounds on him and make him a OT?

Reid Fragel OT Ohio St looks interesting as a project. 1 yr already at OT

then again could a OT trade be possible in the draft? hmmmmm Need to start looking at that one a bit more

Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter

Chiefs are seeking a second-round pick in this year's draft as well as another pick in 2014 in a trade for franchise OT Branden Albert.

do you think the saints would be willing to part with pick 15 for him?
15 NO 1050pts
they want a 2 so give it the value of
42 MIA 480
I use miami because they are listed as the most interested
trade difference 570
Not sure KC would trade 170 KC 234 this year because they have no picks in the 5th. that would leave a value of a low second high third to carry over to next for us.

ok lets see what else is possible to get a vet

I do like Albert a lot, and I do see him as an effective LT as opposed to many claiming him being more of a RT, but I'd never give up what the Chiefs are asking for him.

I'm not saying he might not be worth it, but I'm not in favor of trading away picks, especially when Albert would have to be given a new contract which would not be cheap either.

I really think that the draft is the way to go in terms of getting LT depth - go to the OTAs as Brown as the starting LT and see if someone from the roster can beat him out.

Not that this is any kind of indicator, but there wasn't much crying over Kelly on the Raiders boards I visited. They were sure full of hopeless, pissed offed in general folk overall. Could totally understand it having been there myself.

Well, they call it the "black hole" for a reason.
