Great guy, he stopped and chatted for a long time and seemed appreciative of hardcore fans.

Thats cool . I would be happy if he just got 5 sacks

The Colts clearly were one of the biggest-drawing cards on the Bills’ schedule because of their marquee quarterback, Peyton Manning, and consistent success. However, the NFL appears to be leaning more strongly in the direction of choosing an NFC team, such as the Buccaneers (who have yet to settle on a starting quarterback) or perhaps the New Orleans Saints, who have Pro Bowler Drew Brees under center. At least one other unknown team is believed to be on the short list.

London last year, maybe Toronto this year? At least we don't give up a home game this time :)

In the Final Forum Mock this is what I've done so far as the Saints GM:

1. Traded #14 for #27, #92 (3rd) & CB Marlin Jackson
2. Selected at #27 Safety Louis Delmas.
3. Traded #92 (3rd) for #141 (5th) and LB Omar Gaither.
4. Traded CB Jason David for #216 (7th) and #219 (7th)

So, we have added more depth at CB, added the top safety in the draft, and added a really good Will linebacker that was a stud in Philly. And we have four picks to work with.

I like what you have done thusfar. So we have two fourth round, a fifth and 3 7th round picks left. I'll look who is remaining to see if I have an opinion on who you should take in the fourth round picks.

diabsoule · 04-12-2009, 02:09 AM

With the first fourth rounder I picked: James Davis, RB, Clemson.

I was hoping that either Rashad Jennings (RB), David Bruton (S), Chip Vaughn (S), or Antoine Caldwell (C) would fall but none did.

With the next fourth I'm looking at either OLB Tyrone McKenzie or DT Vance Walker. Let me know what you guys think.

diabsoule · 04-12-2009, 03:21 AM

Well, with our two fourth rounds I chose James Davis, RB, Clemson and Tyrone McKenzie, LB, University of South Florida.

wicket · 04-12-2009, 05:09 PM

what is the idea behind davis, he basicly is the same player as pierre thomas in my opinion. I like mckenzie though.

CJSchneider · 04-12-2009, 07:10 PM

Yeah, you surprised me with that pick bro.

diabsoule · 04-14-2009, 04:33 PM

The player I was hoping to land was Rashad Jennings but he was selected a few picks before mine. So, I went with Davis who I felt wasn't a bad complimentary prize.
I think Davis could be an effective third down back. On my board he was the best inside runner available which is why I went ahead and selected him. He's tough to take down and can usually pick up a few yards after contact. He just reminds me of a smaller Deuce.

CJSchneider · 04-14-2009, 07:48 PM

Yeah, I wonder who took Jennings...hmmmm.

with leroy hill detagged(did you know teams could do that) do we have the cap room to go after him? Prolly not right?

CJSchneider · 05-01-2009, 08:40 AM

I don't think we had the cap room anyhow.

wicket · 05-01-2009, 09:27 AM

i think we did but a deal was prolly worked out whilst untagging them

CJSchneider · 05-01-2009, 12:18 PM

Looking at that again, yeah, we probably would have made it.

Did one else notice how low Jammal Brown's salary is?

Yeah Jason David having a higher salary than Brown is some booty.

diabsoule · 05-01-2009, 06:20 PM

Anyone else concerned about our depth at DT. We have Ellis, Clancy, Pressley, and umm..........?

There are some decent guys out there we could sign that would be nice rotational guys.

We have Coleman. But he was out last year. Your right I think we need a few more guys.

Saints-Tigers · 05-02-2009, 01:00 AM

I think we could use a big gap plugging nose more than anything, I'd like Sedrick as a UT instead of being forced into being a NT because no one else can.

the correct answer is YES. I have a feeling we will be overplaying ellis quite a bit if we dont add anyone.

CJSchneider · 05-02-2009, 05:09 PM

Well, we just released two in the last week. I would be willing to bet we have someone in mind we are about to sign or a plan to do something about it.
