Re: EARLY THOUGHTS ON DRAFT AND FREE AGENCY
I'm with you on Kevin Zeitler. I think he should be the Saints number one objective in FA, assuming the Bengals don't tag him. Drew plays best in a clean pocket and Zeitler could be a strong fit for several years.
I don't think Melvin Ingram is going to be worth the money he gets in free agency. I worry about his consistency setting the edge. I could be wrong but I think the team might be better off addressing DE in the draft. From what I've been reading about Hightower, the Pats won't let him hit the market. He's the center piece to Belichick's defense. They'll be as frugal as they can but they'll keep him. Otherwise, if he's available, hell yeah, who wouldn't want him. Zach Brown could be a steal but I think with the interest he's generating, he's going to price himself out of what the Saints should pay. The Saints need help all across the board at the LB position and shouldn't pay too much for one guy unless he's a game changer. Although if he promises to get his band to play a few half time shows... Norwell or Lang would be great pick ups if we don't get Zeitler. If I had my druthers, I'd take Norwell over Lang just because of age but either would be solid on the interior of the line. There's a lot of CB's in free agency this year. Bouye and Gillmore are getting a lot of attention but to me, neither has proven themselves over several seasons. In which case, at least with these two, it might be better to look to the draft. Ryan is an excellent slot corner but has struggled on the outside. Foster, Thomas and Barnett would be excellent upgrades to the Saints but free agency will determine what the most pressing needs will be come draft day. Just my opinion. |
