Defensive Line pressure

True... I don't think the FO would sign Grant and let Smith walk... that would be real dumb IMO... to let the better guy leave.

Here's my "HC/GM for a minute" moment...

1. I'd move Grant to DT... let him replace Bryan Young... he's big enough... strong enough... and quick enough to casue some problems for interior linemen.

2. I'd move Will Smith over to the other side... let he and Grant play on the same side of th line.

3. I'd go HARD after Suggs and Jarred Allen... I's sign one of those 2... preferably Jarred Allen because he's stronger... but I'd play Suggs at DE if I were to sign him.

So we'd have a Dline that looks like:

LDE - Smith/
3-Tech - Grant/Lake
DT - Hollis/Clancy
RDE - Allen (or Suggs)/Cooper

I think we would be able to help our secondary like this as well as defend the run.

Neither Shuggs, nor Jared Allen will see FA, I'm afraid....Allen is worshipped here in KS, and they will most assuredly tag him before anybody can touch him. I'm expecting the same for Shuggs....

But I keep coming back to Will Smith....do you think Loomis will pay Smith what he is asking ? If Grant got $60 mil, what will Smith be asking? Is he really worth that much? He had a down year, and it is questionable if he can get much better....shouldn't the saints try to trade him? And if they do, what is his worth?
