News: According to Peter King from SI.com, the Saints are serious about trading into the top four for LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey. King said, "This one really surprises me, and at first I didn't think it was true, but New Orleans is serious about trading into the top four..." Also, King has seemingly put parameters around the Shockey trade. "It won't get done if the Giants insist on receiving in-his-prime, 25-year-old safety Roman Harper (a 2006 second-round pick), plus the 40th pick in the draft. If the Giants want, say, Harper and a sixth-round pick for Shockey, or a second- and sixth-rounder for him, then I could see the trade getting done."WhoDatSay: First, let's discuss moving up to get the hometown hero. While we would love to get our hands on Dorsey, it will cost an awful lot to get into the top four, and quite frankly, we don't think the Saints are willing. However, if the Saints have targeted Dorsey as a unquestioned leader and talent in the mold of Ray Lewis, and think Dorsey will bring Lewis' type of attitude and relentless motor to their defense (which right now it sorely lacks), then a giant move up wouldn't surprise us. Still, more likely is the scenario that New Orleans will offer up far less to swap with either New England or Baltimore and take USC's Sedrick Ellis. As far the Shockey deal, it's more evident than ever that Payton really wants the former Miami star. Payton simply loves using the tight end in his offense (and we know Brees likes throwing to him) and does not want to start the season with Eric "dropped it again" Johnson as the #1 tight end.

Thats the real difference between dorsey and ellis. While both are great players, others seem to rally around Dorsey. Never will he make a play (any play) and not go nuts. He's always playing like there is a fire under his ass -- an it definitely rubs off on his teammates. I will dream of dorsey and vilma as a two-man wrecking crew until Saturday.
i would love to get dorsey, but most of the trades i saw had us giving a 1st, 2nd, and sometimes another (i've seen nothing extra as well as anything between 5-7)
if we use our second to get shocky how will we be able to get dorsey?
but if we can only pick one i'd rather dorsey, because our offense had decent enough weapons as is and our defense needs more help
