Doubt it with so much defensive talent in the draft this year... And Ireland seems to be pretty good at drafting/scouting defense...

There is a guy who could have helped that anemic Saints D line.

What are everyone's thoughts on Amukamura from the Giants? If he isn't high priced he has some talent. Good character guy from what I have heard but durability concerns. We have those already in the secondary so can never have enough bodies.

He just signed with the Jags

With Ohio State's defense from last season boasting three projected 2016 first-round picks and several others who could impact the NFL draft in Round 2 and beyond, there is no arguing the Buckeyes' 2015 defense was among the most talented college football has seen in years.

Just how talented?

One NFL scout would swap the defense for the team that employs him for the Buckeyes' 2015 defense.

Had to be one of ours

Zach Brown - LB Titans ... still available.

FAST, instinctive and excels in pass coverage. Put him at the WILB, alongside Stephone at the MIKE and we are in business. He played well last season vs the Saints. Probably wouldn't break the bank either.

That could be a "fit" in New Orleans.

IF healthy, I'd like this signing for depth with a caveat...

I'd rather see a promising draft pick or UDRFA not have his time limited by a veteran with a small career window remaining...

Now, there's another thing here that concerns me...

This chatter about bringing on FA Laurinaitis to 'quarterback the defense'...

Where and who is this 'quarterback the defense' idea originating?!?

Is there no confidence in Stephone Anthony in that role?!?

Would Anthony be moved outside if Laurinaitis is signed?!?

Hoping to hear some news this weekend since our coaches should be back home in NOLA after their pro day's road trip to Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State. Hopefully a player or two comes in for a visit.
