Great story, new to football, ability off the charts, only getting better.

However, still raw, undeveloped, unproven. Love to see him under Spags.

I posted in the Big Board thread that Ansah intrigues me. I am leaning towards him as the guy I want the Saints to draft.

My worry with him is that he may not be ready now.
If we didnt have so many problems that needed fixed i wouldnt mind a player like that but turning down a player that can do the job now is a risk.
Im really not sure whether i would prefer a OT/DE/DT in the first.
Id be tempted to leave the DE till the third when the likes of Carradine and Hunt could still be there.

Should have a better idea after the combines and Free agency starts.

Don't know what happened to Greer this season.
Jenkins couldn't say let's tackle.
Ellis couln't even show up in this contract season.
Smith may have to play for free.
Defense may get totally revamped.
I wouldn't be mad at all.

I want Vilma Back

I'm all for it if it can be done.
We need so much that if we can get one done in FA if be made up.

i think Henderson and Shanle will be gone for sure. The only thing we can be sure of beside that is Payton will come back with a definite plan.

I think Bushrod and Vilma stay. I also see Morgan replacing Meachem as our deep threat and maybe Toon taking Devry's spot (Henderson is pretty old too). I don't imagine Ivory and Cadet will both be here though, Elis will go (that can't happen soon enough), Shanle, Smith might restructure and hopefully a slough of secondary players (everyone except Jenkins and maybe Mack) get canned.

Lofton never checks out of a play which is another reason I want Vilma back. He may be old, slow and doesn't tackle very well anymore, but I still want him for the defensive captain and chess player against opposing QB's.
