[ibelieve]

Haynesworth (so many choices, Briggs, Samuel, Asomugha )
Florence
Josh Brown (kicker worries would be over)
Hobson
Patten

 

[Darkhorse985]

1. Marcus Trufant
2. Karlos Dansby
3. Gibril Wilson
4. Jeff Faine
5. David Patten

Although Dansby will be franchised for sure

Haynesworth...a young DT with a bad atttitude, he should be nuber 1 one every Saints fans list.
Bironas...a reliable kicker with a super strong leg...he'd be fabulous in the dome.
Earnest Wilford...a big reciver with good hands and a nose for the endzone...Drew would have him in the
Jeff Faine...He's been a good center for us so I think this one is a no brainer.
It's betweem Young, Patten and Damien Woody for me...so I'll take Young and hope he stays healthy with Haynesworth on the team.

15: Lance Briggs (LB)
29: Drayton Florence (CB)
43: Boss Bailey (LB)
64: Ben Troupe (TE)
96: Martin Gramatica (K)

This would allow us to go for BPA in each round and even pick up an Olineman without having to worry about starting too many rookies on Defense this season.

It's kind of sad that I'd be happy with virtually any (and every) defensive player in the top 30.

 

[donato]

Haynesworth
Dansby
Wilford
Troupe
Young

 

[Super Dave]

Here's my top 5... (sorry no CB)


2 Albert Haynesworth DT 6-6 320 26 Unrestricted Tennessee

26 Karlos Dansby LB 6-4 250 26 Unrestricted Arizona

53 Boss Bailey LB 6-3 235 28 Unrestricted Detroit

64 Ben Troupe TE 6-4 270 25 Unrestricted Tennessee

86 David Patten WR 5-10 190 33 Unrestricted New Orleans

I could go with:

10 Nnamdi Asomugha CB 6-2 210 26 Unrestricted Oakland

instead of Haynesworth and just draft a DT... like Ellis or the LSU guy... what's his name (TeeHee )


Did anybody else find it funny that Rex Grossman (#98) ranked two below Martin Gramatica (#96, not a slam on Marty) and one spot above a punter Jeff Feagles (#99)... how the mighty have fallen... it seems like just a year or so ago Chi-town fans were talking much love for Rex... Backup QB Shaun Hill (#72, never heard of this guy) ranked 26 spots ahead of Grossy...

wow...notice where all the Saints free agents are. Mostly the bottom. Nesbit is the highest at 44. That can't be a good sign.

Anthony Maddox
I would also call Jeremy Newberry in for a physical.

We don't let the good ones become free agents...

[Allen Poe]

i was going to come into this thread and say you all are crazy for not DEMANDING the Saints sign Erik Coleman (safety, from the jets) then i realized... Kherry Rhodes is the best on the jets, not him

carry on

I was going to bring up Bironas as well. If he is restricted, maybe we can put together a contract that the Titans can't match. Depending on what they tender him with would determine compensation obviously, but i wouldn't mind if we took a look at him. The man was 8 for 8 on field goals and basically won the game for them against the Texans.

Right now the FA pool seems deeper than it was last year. However, that may also be because the FTs haven't been put on and many FAs are signed before FA begins by the team they are on. So I reserve my votes until the final list is available.
