The pending loss of Mauti is important to special teams, but he was as important to linebacker depth, not safety depth...
I am starting to see, more clearly a lack of talent elevation and an air of desperation in the saints organization that is really worrying me more than ever.

You know I am not and have not been happy with the saints safety play nor the moves the saints have made in recent years to solve the talent. I have beaten this drum into pieces

keep an eye on this draft for secondary players especially on day 2.

But alas I have little faith they will do anything once again.

FS (3) 31 - Jairus Byrd, 48 - Vonn Bell, 49 - Shiloh Keo

SS (3) 32 - Kenny Vaccaro, 41 - Roman Harper, 37 - Chris Banjo

IR DB 30 - Erik Harris

Of the group keep Kenny Vaccaro, Vonn Bell, Erik Harris.

The rest can walk.

Even the keepers I am so-so on except Harris I see as a solid developmental player. But we are stuck.

This draft is a draft we can completely upgrade and rebuild the safety position.

Hagan,
Would you consider keeping JByrd at a reduced or restructured salary?

Just curious ...

In the back of my mind is that quote of Kenny Vaccaro where he challenged some players to be great and there was speculation it was about Byrd...

Nonetheless, injuries happen, but when they happen often, you have to question the player's commitment to the necessary level of mental and physical conditioning necessary for that player to be "available."

Got ridiculed for it, but I've said he should be the Left Tackle and he's certainly proved he's more than capable...
