Savage upgrade vs CDaniels, imo. Still would like them to draft QB for future. Davis is a solid pick up. PRob will hopefully be good. More experience now, settling in, and knows Saints system. Jordy would be a great pick up- he should have enough in the tank for Brees last few years. All of this would allow drafting TE and DE. Wouldn't mind some RB depth, too.
Nick Underhill reports that QBs playing the Saints last year put up a passer rating of 94.2 when throwing to the slot. QB's throwing at PRob defending in the slot were 64.9.
Detillier scouts Savage: big flamethrower, but highly erratic pocket passer who didn't show a good feel for the pass rush with Houston. Smart guy, but hesitates on his throws, especially on timing routes.
Don't want him either. overthecap.com lists about half a dozen moves the Saints can make with current contracts (extensions and restructures), including cutting Fleener after June 1, that would free up an additional 24 million.
