Who'll be our #2 CB?
 
I was looking over the updated roster (minus Ambrose), and started wondering (again) who'll be our #2 corner going into this season.

Obvously McKenzie stays at #1, but the #2 spot looks wide open - and not terribly encouraging. The candidates are:

Fakhir Brown
Jason Craft
Fred Thomas
* Dwight Smith can also play corner

Brown played pretty well toward the end of last season and probably deserves a shot at the starting job. Craft - who once started with the Jaguars - signed a four-year deal earlier this offseason, which may signify that the Saints believe he's finally ready to start. Thomas simply doesn't seem to have it anymore and - if retained - is probably better suited for special teams and extra DB sets. Smith can play corner, but one wonders if he wouldn't be better utilized at safety (especially now that Tebucky Jones is gone).

My gut tells me Fakhir Brown will get the job. What do you guys think? Also, is it possible the Saints will finally address the CB position in the draft?

I\'ll say it... JASON CRAFT the mans got skills!

I really like Craft as a nickle corner, and he\'s a great contributor on special teams (remember who caused that fumble vs. the Raiders when Bockwoldt got his TD?), but the Saints really haven\'t given him many opportunities to prove himself as the #2 corner. By all rights he should be ready to take over by now ... don\'t know what the problem is.

One thing\'s for sure, we\'d better hope everyone stays healthy or we\'re gonna be hurting in the secondary, especially at CB.

Don\'t be surprised if this is our first pick in the draft. You know the Saint\'s usually pick someone that you would never expect.

I like Fakir hands downs

Phillip Buchanon.

You can\'t win without Hurricanes on the roster. LOL

Fahkir Brown, but I like Turbo\'s idea.

Woodson...

Ok, seriously, I\'d put my money on Brown. He looked pretty good in a couple of games, and I think he\'s got the tools.

I notice that Andre Dyson is still available, perhaps his price will be bottoming out soon?

Also, I wouldn\'t be surprised if we drafted a CB, but I doubt it will be one of the top three. Does anyone think Webster would start over Brown if we got him in the third? I think there is a chance we get him.

PS - I like Buchannon better than Woodson anyway...

I think it\'s Phillip Buchanon. I honestly think that trade will happen on draft day. If not then Brown

My fingers are crossed for Carlos Rogers

Craft was on his way to starting last year and spained his ankle, Brown played pretty good but i dont think he\'s a #2. (Both are decent #2\'s or killer nickle/dime backs) . I think we might get a CB in the draft but he\'ll be a young development type. So if we get PB or Woodson they would be #2 if not Craft, unless FT returns to his old self.

Hopefully, it will be one of the Raiders\' starters, either will do. If not, then I think Fahkir gets the nod. He started last season, he has gotten better every year, he\'s a small school guy with a chip and though he is less talented, he keeps proving himself time and again. I\'d love to see Craft be the guy the Saints though (or maybe hoped is a better term) they were getting, but I just haven\'t seen it. People keep talking about all this talent he is supposed to have. I haven\'t seen much out of him that has me all that impressed. Maybe that will change. I hope so.

Charles Woodson will be our #2!! I actually had a dream about it(pretty pathetic, huh).

Why would Draft day have any significance in an Oakland trade? Aren\'t they negotiating a player/player trade?

Craft is an excellent nickle corner and special teams contributor, but the Saints really haven\'t given him many chances at #2 corner. I\'ve gotta believe there\'s some reason they\'re keeping him at nickle, possibly he simply doesn\'t read the offense very well (ie. it has to be a clear-cut pass or run for him to defend).

There are always a few player/player trades that go down on draft day. I think we will get a late round pick in addition to PB
