I still live the old world of football.

It all starts in the trenches.

43 NT is a top my wish list.
Gotta stuff the run and eat up double teams. Frees up every one in the front 7. I want a proven vet on the cheap.

Next is CB or safety.
Saints weakest spot in the secondary is slot coverage by both positions. I would like upgrades to both.

It is so hard to ponder CB.
A few issues need to be answered. Will Breaux come back and if so, does this give us slot CB on the roster?

Short list
Kyle Fuller CB Bears (25) 5116 190 4.40 Rd1 2014
Rashaan Melvin CB Colts (28) 6016 192 4.42 UDFA 2013
TJ Carrie CB/FS Raiders (27) 5115 205 4.43 #38 Rd 7 2014
Aaron Colvin CB Jaguars (26) 5113 177 4.51 Rd4 2014

Safety is much easier IMO. We need a new age SS.

Morgan Burnett SS/FS/CB/LB Packers (28) 6013 209 4.51
Would be that proven modern day SS to take control of our young secondary and guide them. Stop asking him to play LB already. He was a man ahead of his times

Others I am watching
Mark Barron IB/SS Rams (28) 6010 222 4.54 Rd1 2012
Dontae Johnson FS/CB 49ers (26) 6021 208 4.45 Rd4 2014

Keeping an eye on
Deone Bucannon SS/FS/LB Cardinals (25) 6010 211 4.49 Rd.1 2014
He was my next coming of Morgan Burnett. He is so misused in the desert

TE is so cap driven for me.
Pickings are thin this year. Last year was the loaded with split TE.

Slot WR? I am waiting to see what GB does with
Randall Cobb WR GB (27) 5102 191 4.46 Rd2 2011

LB? depth
Christian Jones OLB/ILB CHI 6031 249 4.68 2017 UDFA
Perry Riley MLB Oakland (29)_6010 439 4.69 Rd4 2010

Waiting to see what happens with
Pita Taumoepenu OLB/DE SF (23) 6010 243 4.67 Rd. 6 2017
Chris Smith DE Cincinati 6010 266 4.71 CIN 25 RD 5 2014

Needs in Free Agency
BPA in the draft

Its how teams stay competitive

I have to ask my self, "Which statement is more true"? (Sorry been helping my girls with a lot of home work lately and I am starting to phrase my thoughts similarly lol)

1. The Saints are able to find talent and get the most value from their draft picks.

2. Mickey Loomis is capable of not overpaying a free agent.

Personally I am going to have to go with the draft. Rarely does someone get all of their credit card debt paid off and not find a way to run it back up again.

Option #1 for me too. Potential is often times better than acquiring a Free Agent. The top teams do this (draft) year end and year out. Free agency should supplement a roster, not necessarily define it.

DE - love Oak but hope to upgrade this spot
WR - love to see us go veteran here like Jarvis Landry
SS who can roam the line and cover
OG/OT of the future
LB - still looking for my sideline to sideline athlete

Love you too

Been doing some opposition research on the Cowboys, and boy are they vulnerable this off-season...

They've got three key players to re-sign on defense DE Demarcus Lawrence, DE/DT David Irving (RFA), LB Anthony Hitchens...

Plus RG Zach Martin will be in the final year of his contract and the Cowboys will want to extend him...

Cowboys are four-plus deep at DE - DeMarcus Lawrence, David Irving, Tyrone Crawford, Taco Charlton...

And then there's prodigy Randy Gregory, his dope problems, but Charlton's selection may have been there tell...

Figure there's a one-in-ten chance that they let Lawrence hit the open market, but I'd still be ready for a move...

This is where it gets interesting...

David Irving is a 6'7" LDE, playing 3DT, a 24yo RFA with 4 sacks and 4 FF in 2016 with 7 sacks and a FF in 2017...

And MLB Anthony Hitchens who started slow in 2017 with a knee injury, replaced oft-injured Sean Lee at MLB...

Hitchens is looking for a honest effort to compete at the MIKE and the Saints are now contenders for next season...

The Cowboys are going to have to make a difficult decision and let at least one of these players likely go...

We're in a very good position this offseason...

Our three best FAs are Brees, Kelemete, and Vaccaro; then there's Okafor who had a late-season-ending injury...

Only wildcard is some players really like playing for the Big Markets - NYC, Dallas, Atlanta and LA...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

OT who can play guard like Peat. Understudy Center to Unger. DE and can always use another LB for competition.
