Fox Sports' FA Action Plan
 

I love it. LB has been my focus for a couple years or so, and you really took care of it here (and THEN some). I\'d be happy with this scenario. Very happy.

The numbers would work, and it probably makes more sense to do what you\'ve got listed above as opposed to my suggestion (trading up to get DJ, along with zillion dollar signing bonus he\'ll want).

LB, S, QB, and T you\'ve already taken care of. Don\'t forget that we\'ve still got Fred Thomas to trade, and that might be packaged in some way to get us another fairly decent CB via the draft.

Good thing we\'ve got McCarthy over there to convince them about AB!

Fred really hurt his stock this past year. what do you think we could get in exchange? I can\'t see anyone giving us anything higher than a 4th round pick.
LKelly\'s scenario mortgages the present, as we wouldn\'t have a decent QB for two years, and LoE\'s scenario mortgages the future by giving up a quality player and two 1st round picks for a one shot player.
I dunno boys, seems like trading, outside of the R. Williams trade to Miami, has done nothing but hurt us in the past. I, like Danno, am a BPA guy. But this year, let\'s try and look past the DE position, cool??? :P

Yes, it most definitely does. And I said as much in the post (\"Haz mortgages future\"....).

On that rare occassion when I get what I want, it still backfires. So that post was about figuring out how I could get what I want, but -still- have it backfire. IE, LoE still loses.

I thought I found the scenario pretty well. :P

Running along that vein, with regards to what I would do in practical terms (since I\'m such an incredibly gifted, astute, god of a football expert - that astonishingly enough has never been offered a job by Saints management or any team whatsoever) is take BPA (defense) at 16 (probably Davis) and BPA (defense) in round two. Trading down, in fact, is not outside the realm of choices I\'d consider, with my infinite-wisdom GM hat on.
