Strief will become free agent

Pretty much confirmation that Loomis's magic hat is not so full of tricks this season.

We are about to get young, quick, through the draft.

Yikes. So we have RT, S, CB, RB and WR to replace? Only two more positions to pick in the draft now.

What S, CB, RB and WR are we replacing?

S- Losing Jenkins is addition by subtraction. I think losing Harper is more of a loss but they like the replacement option in Bush who graded out extremely well according to PFF. -- Bush was our best safety last year according to PFF.

CB- Greer is a loss but he missed most of the season and we still had the #2 ranked passing D. Add PRob in the mix and a very talented Wade (he will surprise a lot of you) and we are in good shape.

RB- Have yet to lose anyone here. I bet we trade Thomas or Sproles. Sproles will be missed. Thomas is getting to much praise for what could be argued as his worst year as a saint. He put up some numbers but had his lowest YPC and YPR ever.

WR- Moore has been nothing but disappointing since signing his contract. Loomis chose to pay him 2.5m not to be on the team. I love Moore but he is a system guy and won't do much elsewhere. I hope Andy Tanner gets his shot now.

Aside from all of that, rumor has it that Jimmy G is getting 20m a year and will play all of the above positions to justify his bloated contract.

We have six (6) picks and ALL would have to hit...

Can you say UnDrafted Free Agent?!?

Scouting department are about to earn there pay checks, our team has enough leadership to still be a contender whilst getting younger at key positions

Sad to see some great players go but its needed if you want to succeed in the future, I've seen some fans(mostly on facebook) calling mickey loomis all the names under the sun for getting rid of lance moore, guy was great for us but this has been coming for 2 seasons now
