I know the saints will most likely wait until team minicamps to see what they already have on their roster before bringing in any more free agents, but there are a few I wouldn't mind going after.

1.) Kevin Jones – that’s right, the Hokie baby. Jones has proven that he cannot be counted on to be the workhorse back for my fantasy team or the Detroit Lions…or for any other NFL team for that matter; but we don't need him for that. He weighs close to 230 and was productive in spurts in Detroit. We already have Deuce, Pierre, and Bush, but if Deuce were to befall injury, we could plug Jones in for a handful of plays a game (as a situational back) to pile up the tough yards...otherwise, our heaviest back would be Stecker at 213lbs, and we know he can't fill the bowling-ball roll. Let the Bungles overpay for Shaun Alexander while we bring in the Hokie for a bottom-based price.

2.) Mike Doss – he was formerly successful in Indy when paired with a healthy Bob Sanders, but Marlin Jackson's arrival made him easily expendable (it didn't help that he was also plagued by injuries). We all know that our safety situation leaves a lot to be desired and I see "taking a flier on Doss" a lot like our decision to bring in Dan Morgan -- though admittedly a little on the lighter side. If he can stay healthy, he will immediately help on special teams and could prove to be a fallback option. The only negative here is that his style is more like Harper than Bullocks -- he's best at the line in run support, or in 2 deep. That said, I would rather have 2 Harpers than a Harper and a Bullocks!

Let me tell all of you Saints fans who we shouldn’t bring in.

1.) Takeo Spikes – this guy is simply too old to cover tight ends and running backs in pass protection. He isn’t nearly as athletic as he use to be because he’s getting up in age. On top of that, he’s no longer quick enough to play outside linebacker. If NFL teams ran the ball or blitzed every play, then he would be our guy. But these days, they pass the ball too. He’s great in run support but sucks in pass protection. We have a similar guy on our team who is just like Spikes. His name is Mark Simoneaux. Simoneaux is the exact reason the Saints went out and signed our new defensive leader, Jonathan Vilma, during the offseason. Bringing in Takeo Spikes would be a pointless addition to the Saints.
