Saints Depth Chart 2013

How many blown plays does a guy get before he is held accountable for how crappy he plays throughout the course of an entire season. |

With that said, yes there have been mistakes. Jason David was a horrible signing. We gave up a 4th round pick in the 2007 draft for David. We can go on and on about the draft picks made in the first round. To be honest, I didn't care for Robert Meachem when we made him our first round pick in 07. I really did not care for Patrick Robinson in 10. But who else really jumps out at you as a player that was given a grossly bad contract through free agency? If anything, Loomis and Payton have had impact classes in free agency... 06 (Brees & Fujita), 08 (Gay & McCrary), 09 (Sharper, Greer, Hargrove, and Heath Evans), 11 (Sproles, Shaun Rogers, and Aubrayo Franklin), 12 (Lofton, Hawthorne, Grubbs and Bunkley). I think the only disappointing group of free agents that were brought in was the year we won the Super Bowl. We could not sign anyone until we lost a free agent. I think that was the Alex Brown and Jimmy Wilkerson signings. With all this said, I think the Saints have done a great job of late when it comes down to using free agency to fill holes. The draft... not so much. One of the big reasons I would love to see us trade down this year. I don't trust our front office to make the right moves with our first round pick. |

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
Jolly Good Illustration of the success of the Free Agents;and you do make a great point...
I should have been more specific in my criticism of overpaid contracts in Will Smith, Charles Grant, and Roman Harper; and how those commitments directly kept us from other available free agents that were of a better caliber (upgrade) and would have given the team more flex in signing additional players... Would disagree with you about Franklin and Rodgers, though Franklin was more of a bad fit and Rodgers' contract should have been even more incentive-based... But it has been the repeated busts in the higher round draft picks that have handicapped the team... |

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
I don't get it...
Rams need a Strong Safety, Saints need a Left Tackle... Is the light going to ever come on for the Saints Front office?!? |
