I look for Saints to only sign two more players before draft
 

With roster now at 62 players 2nd fewest total in nfl with 7 draft picks will bring roster to 69 players add Goodwin a center an Pugh a saftey who i think will be signed before draft brings roster up to 71 players add 19 rookie ufda players an that will be training camp 90 player roster.I think 5 draft picks make 53 roster along with 5 ufda rookies also make 53 final roster.:bng::dunce::whatever:

When their done wheelin' and dealin' we might only have 5 picks.

saints short of nfl draft picks totals last few years need to if anything trade down for an 8th pick.Only if some player they have on a top 10 list somehow drops to say being there say at pick 22 would i even consider a trade up.i ok with droping out of first round to say pick 34 for extra picks along with a 4th an 5th round picks.:rolleyes::cool:

I thought Pugh had already signed.......guess not, but soon I hope. We are going to have some serious safeties.
If five draft picks and five udfa's make the team that would be a substantial turnover. Right now we have 62 and have to get down to 53 players for kick off. That's nine at least that are gone from our current roster. This off season has been very busy.

No way 5 un drafted guys make this team.

I would love to see them sign Goodwin, greer and pugh and then take a de/olb with our first pick then trade all other picks except our extra 6th for the highest pick we can get and draft the best wr on the board. with the extra 6th we get our next center/og.

Re: I look for Saints to only sign two more players before draft
 

We have an extra 5th not 6th. No need to do this . This draft is very deep at WR. We don't need to trade all our picks to get a good one. We already tried that once. Didn't work out to good.

Re: I look for Saints to only sign two more players before draft
 

As of the moment, it doesn't look like anyone's signed Pugh. Could be we're waiting until after the draft to see what we still need.

Re: I look for Saints to only sign two more players before draft
 

One thought is that we're so tight up against the salary cap, that we may just trade up so that we don't have so many draft picks to pay. We could make up the later picks with UDFA's which we seem to do so well with. Just something that I've been thinking about. This would allow us to move up to get a Darquez Dennard or a Gilbert or even an OBJ. All I know is that we need to knock this draft out of the park and we need playmakers with our first 3 picks, not just starters, playmakers. If we can pull that off, I'd say Super Bowl.

Jeanpierre was saying the same thing on another thread. It sure does make a lot of sense. The questions I have about that are, is there really any such thing as a sure bet in the draft? And is that sure thing a position we really need? We could also use the shotgun approach, draft as many bodies as we can and then cut'em before they affect our cap position.

Sigh, how many weeks until draft day?
