Hagin,
I'll leave my grade on the draft as W - WAIT AND SEE. I thought Anthony was a outstanding pick & I was almost ready to label Peat as a bust. After year 2, the opposite holds true ;).

I always give our draft picks 4 year prove it contract time.

Rob Ryan, FA and trad players do not get a break

True Dat! We have been insufficient evaluating talent. Ireland has helped on the defensive side of the ball but we may need a true football GM, which Loomis is not. He's a yes man and bean counter.

He will probably play 8 games a season average and have a good year in year 4 but we won't pick up the option. He goes to another team and starts all 16 games year in and year out.

"Why all the negativity?"
Have you seen anything about the health of our backfield in the past 5 years to be positive about?

I hope the new coaches came with a new strength and conditioning staff.

Look at the offensive lineman we got those first couple years. Payton saw the future withBrees and built around him. We wound up having the best line in the league a few years there.

I see a rotation of situational pass rushers We need about 12 more sacks.If three guys get four sacks I'm ok with that add in a few CB and S blitzes and we are top fifteen D !

Don't forget the whole turnover thing.

If the Saints were to add 12 sacks to last year's total (30, 27th NFL) they would have tied for 3rd in the league behind only Arizona (48) and Carolina (47). A marginal improvement of even six more sacks would have them in 13th position.

Think about that for a second. We are not far off from having very good defense with a little health and improved players and coaching. I feel we have just that.
