S CB NT LB OL

Bargain basement FA shopping list

DaQuan Jones DT/DE Titians 6036 322 5.35 #90 R4 2014 - $3/4M
Proven run stuffer miscast as a 34 DE

Dontae Johnson CB/S 49ers 6021 208 4.45 RD4 2014 $3/4M
Has shown promise as a CB/S

Aaron Colvin CB Jaguars 5113 177 4.51 Rd4 2014 $3/4M
Solid nickle back

Chris Hubbard OT/OG Steelers 6034 286 4.95 UDFA $1/2 M

$11/16M the saints bench would get an infusion of proven youthful talent.

He played tough! Although I'd be fine with resigning Ingram and ignoring the RB class this coming year. Still think it's the heavies we should be focusing on.

We may not be able to afford Ingram if his contract incentives kick in - nor should we...

We need to keep getting this team younger, faster, stronger, better...

follow the model that unless we've got a 10-year All-Pro Quarterback, Cornerback, or Offensive Linemen, let 'em go for the compensatory picks...

With Ireland in-tow, we now have the ability to build through the draft which will get the talent spread to more positions...

And will minimize the limitations we've had with being up against the cap...

Long Offseason till the draft, let the draft niks and "expert scouts" pick him apart...

Draft rankings really don't gel until about two weeks out from the draft...

Then you get the subversive crap, so we'll see...

Right now one of my favorites, even though I loathe NotreDame, is Nelson, and he's supposed to be a Top 10 pick...

Not even if we traded Drew, Mark and our first and third rounder?
