[Tanduay rum and optimism]

I was enjoying Tanduay in the Philippines just last week my friend. That was before the Giants game when we were doomed. Now it's sunshine and roses, and I'm drinking the kool-aid as per annual preseason tradition.

[If you were GM for a week, what would you do?]

Haha I should have clarified... I was considering possible scenarios after this season, including the possibility that the cap-strapped Saints may not be able to retain Graham.

Edit to my earlier post: Mike Evans... duh.

[If you were GM for a week, what would you do?]

1. Sign Jimmy Graham, TE. Who would you rather have, dollar for dollar: Stevie Johnson or Jimmy Graham?

 

2. Trade Stevie for a 2nd round pick. I love Stevie by the way but I feel that our offense will be much better with multiple vertical threats to open things up for Spiller.

 

3. Draft for best value with an emphasis on a 3 down LB to compliment Kiko, big WR and road grading G. Perhaps we could trade up to get Khalil Mack and Mike Adams with our three picks in the first two rounds? Then load up on OL and CB depth.

 

4. Re-sign Chandler, Moats and Carpenter to reasonable contracts.

 

5. Sign Byrd to a long-term deal paying top #5 money.

 

6. Make sure there is enough cap room to extend Cordy Glenn ASAP.
