Probably more that I haven't thought about. Point is you need those picks and signings to work out so you can fill out the roster with solid players who don't cost much. I'd say the Saints have done maybe a better job than any team in the league except maybe the Patriots with that.

Key word was proven. None of those players are "finds" or "steals" beyond what every other team does.

Also, you missed the best UDFA we have on the team right now. He is the only one that I would consider proven.

Foster and Walker are two of my favorites on D-line. Those guys bring it every time they are on the field. Josh Hill is good and has potential to br great.

Not us, evidently.... please recheck our stellar early round track record in the last few years.

well next? maybe SP should take the job

B_Dub_Saint · 01-08-2015, 04:40 PM

So who's out there to replace him?

Halo · 01-08-2015, 06:05 PM

Sounds like his right hand man will be taking over for him. Great to have some fresh blood and eyes doing some different things.

Good for Pace. All the poaching that's been going on for the past few years are a testament of our well run and respected our organization has been. Now while the results aren't always there... not everyone can be the Patriots.

Out with the old and in with the new.

He's got more career fumbles (3) than TD's (2)
