Most people say the Saints did well but i dont really agree..From my count they already had 8 DL signed and more DB's than they could ever use..I think their wanting to screw around with the contracts of Smith and Grant is why they went after DL..True they needed a run stopper but im not sure they got 1, they ones they drafted are risky in the injury dept and no sure things..
I thought they would go after LB's where they were in dire need of speed at the postion and instead they signed 2 more guys who are injury prone in Vilma and Morgan. Maybe this year didnt have a good crop of linebackers but i still dont think they have improved in that dept a whole lot unless Vilma returns to form. Morgan wouldnt surprise anyone if he never played a down again..
Ol is another area id thought they would go after and they drafted 1 from Neb and thats it.
They got 1 WR and 1DB neither any big names..
1 area i think the Saints are overlooking and Haslett made this same mistake is special teams speed..Haslett ended up at 1 point playing hos starters on ST cus the backups were to big and to slow and it looks like Payton will end up in the same boat...
Im going to give them an F and on the whole offseason an F as well. I dont see where they've improved and its a given that going after DL so hard is going to put even more bad blood between mgmt and Grant and Smith..
And we still have NO TE's to boot
