Man this signing feels weird. I'm simultaneously giddy and nervous. Also a Lakers fans and it feels like when the Lakers signed Karl Malone.

Well, at least your a Saints fan...

I dont think McCaffrey is in play personally unless we trade back to the nid first round and he's there. I do think another 3rd down back is in play though a bit later.

For a team with so many holes on defense I feel like I see the name McCaffrey mentioned too often as the 11th overall pick in the draft

Don't believe we have as many holes as you think...

Not that I'd not like to see some guys get a fair shot at the roster, this is what we have before the draft on defense...

DEFENSE

DE (2) 94 - Cameron Jordan, 55 - Darryl Tapp

DT (2) 98 - Sheldon Rankins, 93 - David Onyemata

NT (2) 90 - Nick Fairley, 95 - Tyeler Davison

DE (2) 57 - Alex Okafor, 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha

SLB (2) 50 - Stephone Anthony, 54 - Nate Stupar

MLB (2) 58 - A.J. Klein, 00 - Manti Te'o

WLB (2) 59 - Dannell Ellerbe, 52 - Craig Robertson

LCB (2) 40 - Delvin Breaux, 20 - Ken Crawley

FS (3) 48 - Vonn Bell, 31 - Rafael Bush, 49 - Shiloh Keo

SS (2) 32 - Kenny Vaccaro, 30 - Erik Harris, 37 - Chris Banjo

RCB (3) 25 - P.J. Williams, 24 - Sterling Moore, 21 - De’Vante Harris

That's a good roster before the draft, injuries; and then you can have one or two from the following pool of players make the leap this year:

92 - Justin Zimmer, 96 - Ashaad Mabry, 42 - Travis Feeney, 58 - Obum Gwacham, 77 - D.J. Pettway, 61 - Royce LeFrance, 35 - Robenson Therezie, 27 - Damian Swann, 00 - Anthony Gaitor, 43 - Jimmy Pruitt, 39 - Taveze Calhoun, 00 - Forrest Hightower

I'd watch for Zimmer, Feeney, Mabry, Swann, and Pruitt in this group...

Swann and Pruitt can also play safety, they just need to stick with special teams and they could upset Crawley or De"Vante...

Zimmer has plus, plus athleticism, if he can adjust to the pro game (and don't forget that Nielsen hiring), he could be a great backup to Rankins and allow Ony to move and backup all along the d-line...

Mabry also made a good challenge to make the roster last season...

And Feeney is another LBer to watch; if he makes the squad, that allows Robertson to backup Klein and improves the MLB depth...

Well it's only a one year deal so I can't believe we pass if the right rb is there.

lee909 · 04-25-2017, 08:53 AM

A pass rusher and cornerback would make the world of difference and are needs imo. Outside of that its best player you can and depth for certain positions. Safety needs looked at and if Adams somehow slipped if tbe QB run happens id be at that podium faster than Usain Bolt
