I'd think Grayson would be a great choice as he could add to his route tree as he develops... And if it's not Grayson, it's highly probably it'll be someone not named Ginn next season; that's why I was a fan of drafting Mecole Hardeman, KC's selection... |

Re: What we learned in Saints' preseason win over Jets
I like Grayson to spend a year on the practice squad. He won’t be snatched up if we try to stash him there... He’s not a hot commodity.

Carr, Kirkwood, and Smith had most of the season, last year, to prove themselves without Ginn. They couldn't. Big shoes to fill once Ginn walks into the sunset. |

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

Tre needs to get it together. No excuses. |
