Saints Offseason Thread - Page 12

The Saints have what 3 or 4 4th round picks? David is a very above average CB. He is undersized, but he is so consistant. You know what you will get from him every week. A solid #2 CB who can shut down probably 80% of the leagues #2 WR's. Not a great tackler, but enough to get the job done.

He sounds like the type of guy the Saints need and for the price of a 4th rounder, I'de go as far to say that this deal is a lock.

Yea we have 3 fourth rounders, from your description David seems like exactly the type of guy we need. Solid cover guy, who won't give up the big play.

I would not mind giving up a 4th at all, however I think if we make an offer Indy will match as they seem to have already lost Nick Harper I would imagine they wouldn't want to lose another Corner this off-season.

I would not be against this move at all. One of our three 4th round picks would not be a very big price to land a pretty solid corner.

Colts won't match. Hayden & Jackson are ready to start. Jennings is going to be getting more PT too. David was going to be let go next off season anyways, so if the Colts get a 4th for a guy who would be a UFA, I think that's a win. It's a win for the Saints because you will get a solid #2 for a reasonable price, at the cost of pennies (considering how many picks you got).

Interesting.. didn't know about all the young guys you had in the wings.

I hope to see an offer made soon. We need all the corner help we can get.

Flyboy · 04-13-2007, 06:29 PM

Word has it that we might be close to signing Jason David (CB from Colts) to an offer sheet.

source?

also David met with the Saints today (per NOLA.com)...and that article from ESPN stated that 'we are serious about David'.

Flyboy · 04-13-2007, 06:38 PM

I suppose close to signing him to an offer sheet was a bit premature, but yeah... basically what you said.

diabsoule · 04-13-2007, 11:52 PM

I would love for the Saints to grab him even if it means giving up a 4th Rounder. I actually had the Saints getting David in the last forum mock.

I agree, especially since we have three fourth rounders.

If we were able to sign Jason David, then I think it could change the direction we go in the Draft in less than two weeks.

If we get David, do we still target a cornerback with our first rounder, or does it become a "best player available" situation?

Sveen · 04-15-2007, 01:32 PM

If we sign Jason David I think we would take the best CB, LB, TE, WR or DT available.

04-15-2007, 01:36 PM

I don't know if I really like David guys, he is a complete mismatch waiting to happen. He is 5'7 / 5'8 and 175 pounds. That is too small to be a "solid" corner for us. It almost seems a waste of our 4th rounder. He'll be a mismatch against almost every WR and pretty much [from what i've read] won't be able to help us out much against the run either. In my opinion we should pursue other corners if we're looking for anymore free agents or just find a prospect CB in the draft. In the draft I'm going to be crossing my fingers for Chris Houston/Aaron Ross

He is undersized and that was a reason for him dropping to the fourth round during the year he was drafted, however, he has panned out nicely for Indianapolis. He is their starting #2 cornerback and has played very well for them. I think he could come in and do the same for us and if not then he would be an extremely valuable nickel guy.

SuperKevin · 04-15-2007, 07:22 PM

Jason David is the name of my twin brother.

TigerBait45 · 04-15-2007, 07:43 PM

Neat.

Hes worth one of our 3 4th round picks if nothing else. Hes done a good job for Indy, and we desperately need corner help.

Its a good insurance policy in case we can't get one of the 4 first round corner prospects this year.

Jay · 04-15-2007, 09:17 PM

I have great memories of David Patten. He can never stay healthy, but when he could, he was such a solid deep guy.

I think if we sign David, then it becomes BPA with our first round selection as David would feel a big need at CB.

Fred Thomas, as terrible as he's been recently, was at one time a very solid corner for us. He's only 5'9".

The Saints began contract negotiations with restricted free agent cornerback Jason David over the weekend.
If David signs an offer sheet, the deal could contain a "poison pill" that would make the contract frontloaded. The Saints have three fourth-round picks and would forfeit one if Indianapolis fails to match the proposal. David is expected to command a similar deal to the one Rod Hood got.

No one made mention of the saints picking up Trev Faulk?

Ex LSU linebacker. Suddenly listed on the roster yesterday.

TigerBait45 · 04-17-2007, 04:08 PM

I didn't even know.

He started for Arizona a few years ago. Should be at least a solid backup.

I really don't think he ever started for Arizona. Anyway, he'll be a solid backup AT MOST, not at least. I'd be willing to bet that either Faulk or Alfred Fincher will get cut at some point before the season starts, maybe both. I liked the guy at LSU, but let's face it... he's a career backup, and I don't think he was even in the league last year. Maybe he'll play on the practice squad...

Auron · 04-17-2007, 06:36 PM

Yea I'm not expecting much from Faulk, adds another guy for competition in camp. If he makes the cuts he will provide depth, and contribute on special teams most probably.
