Saintaholic's mock off-season - version 1.0

I don't know if I agree with that. The team went 7-9 despite injuries to their best running back McAllister, and some of their best players down the stretch (McKenzie, Bush, Grant, and Colston with nagging injuries). I think that a piece here are there and the team staying a bit healthier would net an 11-5 type season.

I don't think we'll see this team turn into a 14-2 type season in one off-season.

I would have added another linebacker (I really want Kawika Mitchell) but I really think the wallet will be stretched thin, especially with Colston, W.Smith, and maybe even Jahri Evans needing extensions.

I would be really dissapointed if that is how our offseason went. IMO you have to get a LB or DT with the first pick. Then get a the best CB available in the second.

This is how i would draft, regardless of FA signees
1st: Curtis Lofton ( some may say hes a stretch at number 10, but after the combine i dont think many will fell that way.)
2nd: best CB available( hopefully Talib, hes projected as 1st or early 2nd rounder)
3rd: Trevor Laws DT Notre Dame ( good motor, very aggressive)
4th: Depending of Free Agency, either Chevis Jackson, or DJ Hall

And to say that the Saints wallet is streched thin is ridiculous. We are 30 million dollars under the cap. we have plenty of money, it just depends if Benson is willing to spend it.
