I was about to point that out. One of Cooks' main gripes was being used too much stretching the field. Ginn would gladly do that AND be the return man we need.

Problem I have with Ginn is he is 122 years old. He imo is overrated as a returner at this point in his career and he has always had a problem holding on to the ball. Klein has always been a backup and played avg filling in when Luke was injured. What is with these 4th tier signees?

Depends on the money. Also I like the signing if we get f.e. Butler and the 32 pick and sign Butler long term then I think it`s a good move. Passrush in the draft has to be adressed I think 2-3 times and I would also like to bring in a veteran guy for passrush situations only.

May be in the minority here, but I dont understand taking Butler when we'd be in the same position to pay him soon just like cooks, only alot more than Cooks. I'd rather have a deal with the Titans, but would take Butler & 32

I don't have a problem with Klein or Ginn signing. Klein can help out in the middle of the defense and Ginn can stretch the field and return kicks.

I sure hope Reuben Foster is still on the Saints draft board @ #11.

Same here. Gotta wonder though.. we now have 3 guys capable of playing the middle. Although I did read somewhere that a few scouts thought RF might actually make a better Will linebacker in the pros with his speed and range.

I can see it. I feel like he's a must draft player if he's available when we pick. You can't pass him up. Anybody who watches college football and has seen Alabama play can't help but notice Foster being around the ball at the end of every play...normally making the tackle. I'm just imaging the speed of Foster and Anthony both on the field at the same time. We haven't had that much speed at LB'er in decades...if ever.

I agree. He's at the top of my wishlist. Barnett or Jamal Adams wouldn't hurt my feelings either.
