I have come to realize as a Saints fan that the only truly enjoyable part of the year is this time- still early in free agency where there is a lot out there to talk about and the draft is jsut a month or so away. I agree with you on Williams (I saw a couple of his games and thought he was the real deal). However, I think he will be gone by the time we pick.

The real kicker for us is we could use both picks on dt but I think all of the big 5 (williams, kennedy, robertson, sullivan, joseph) will all be gone. If that is the case, I say best palyer available. Here is my top 18 players in order of who I woul dlike the Saints to get:
1) jimmy kennedy-dt
2) terrance newman-cb
3) kevin williams-dt
4) marcus trufant-cb
5) charles rogers-wr
6) dewayne robertson-dt
7) jon sullivan-dt
8) ej henderson-ilb
9) jordan gross-ot
10) william joseph-dt
11) kwamie harris-ot
12) terrell suggs- de
13) andre johnson- wr
14) boss bailey- olb
15) andre woolfolk- cb
16) eric steonbach- ol
17) sammy davis- cb
18) julian battle- cb/fs

since palmer and leftawhich will be gone by 17, we are insured of getting at least the guys I have at 15 and 16. Thus being the worst case scenerio (the guys I like the best all go before we pick) we would wind up with woolfolk and steinbach. Not bad I guess.

To respond to the cb question, yes we need corners. We always do. Dale Carter and Ambrose will only play for two more years each I think. Stock up now. Trufant from everything I read sounds like he is just a notch below Newman (who could passoibly be the #1 pick). So the way I look at it, we need to be evaluating who we like between Woolfolk, Battle, Davis and Strait.
