There's a lot of quality out there next year.

I would love for the Saints to take a look at EJ Manuel. I thought he was great coming out of college but got to a crappy situation in Buffalo that stunted his development. I think working with Payton and Brees could really bring him along.

RG Zeitler is my choice for the one player I want.

Need to get Terrelle Pryor. Keep him as a WR4, returner and backup QB.
He's likely a good WR3, probably could beat out Snead. High dollar but would save coin long term.

Pryor will probably get paid like a #1 and I don't believe for one second that the Browns will let him go. He has been one of very few bright spots for them this year.

I heard Wade Phillips was a free agent. I realize all the 3-4 vs 4-3 stuff, but the rest is just **** all until Sean files for divorce from all his sister wives and gets some decent people on the coaching staff.

If you need any more proof look at what Spags is doing with the Giants. WTF? If the defensive coordinator fails here and then soars elsewhere, it's gotta be his untouchable underlings.

Totally disagree on Spags.

Refresher quiz for you: What was the only team worse in total defense last year than the Saints??

The G-men spent a TON of money this off season.... Jenoris Jenkins, Vernon, "Snacks" Harrison, Landon Collins (solid draft selection). Every last one of these guys are all impact players at their respective position. Giants have 2 CBs that would both be considered the #1 CB for the Saints. They probably have more defensive talent than any team in the league this season.

Safe to say, it's a lot easier for Spaggs to shine with that group on D.

Seeing a lot of posts about us being fine with CB depth... I disagree.

Your top 3 CBs are essentially starting in the current NFL, Moore is not a starting caliber CB. Not to mention if we take 1 injury to the top 3 we are sunk. We do have some depth beyond that but most of our CBs seem to be injury prone. I strongly believe we need to draft/sign a solid #2 CB and put PJ at the #3 CB spot.

No one in the NFL (and that includes Seattle's Sherman) was more effective against Julio Jones and Mike Evans than Sterling Moore this year...
