You know, I'm curious to see C.J. paired with Andy Reid...

Instead give me one of these guys instead, all should go in the same price range

Rick Wagner RT Ravens
A.J. Klein MLB Carolina
Micah Hyde FS/SS Green Bay
Lawrence Guy, DE/DT, Ravens
Justin Hunter WR Buffalo Bills
Rex Burkhead RB Bengals

Patterson actually looked really good when they used him as a WR. He reminds me of Meachem back in the dsy.

Sorry, rez, Patterson knows only two routes, the out, the seam-fly; he can't make a read to run his route...

Saints offense is predicated on smart receivers, making reads and precise route running and timing...

That's pretty much all we did with Meachem for the most part. Devery was limited for a while too. I agree with you though.

I read somewhere recently that he wanted to play more running back...I wonder how he'd handle that satellite RB role in our offense instead of WR.

Kinda hoping we draft Adoree' Jackson; he'd lock down that nickel back role and he'd be explosive as a return man...

[jeanpierre]

The top two position needs in my mind for free agency are Right Guard and Defensive End...

Priority is to add Kevin Zeitler to a very good offensive line of Armstead-Peat-Unger-(Zeitler)-Strief...

With Zeitler, that gives you the best offensive line in football protecting the best passer in football and really opening that running game...

Add the young triplets at WR; and then the backfield of Ingram, Lasco, & (Insert RB here) - there is no defense stopping that offense - None.

To jump start the defense, it starts up front & Chandler Jones would be great add, but will be tagged by 'Zona & that leaves Jason Pierre-Paul or Calais Campbell...

Campbell will be 31 this season; but, he could be a good one/two year rental while developing a DE from the 2nd/3rd round; plus, he's an excellent teammate...

JPP has two, three more years, but he's gonna want a four year deal with guaranteed money; that signing comes with some risks that may make the FO gun-shy...

No matter what, get Paul Kruger back at a fair number now; he'll be a year removed from injury and with a year in D.A.'s system and would be a great DE rotation with continuity...

[rezburna]

Either Melvin Ingram, Chandler Jones, or Nick Perry has to receive a contract from the Saints this year. I'd also make the push for Kevin Zeitler like jeanpierre said. We need to draft Reuben Foster and Tre'davious White. We need A.J. Klein and Logan Ryan. Those moves would make us Super Bowl contenders. I think I'd give Eddie Lacy a contract as well.

Andy Reid is pretty much snake bit -the Marty Schottenheimer of the current era. Will get his guys to the playoffs a lot, but he'll then make some dumbass move and miss the big day once again...
