John Clayton said Pacman to Dallas for a 5th round pick most likely to happen. I would give up a 5th round for Pacman would definitely help our defensive backfield. http://www.wwltv.com/sports/stories/wwl032008bhsaintsnbk.bd71cf2.html
He is a huge talent but he is also a huge pain in the ass! He can't stay out of trouble and thus won't make it back onto the field
IMO i think he realizes this is his last chance and has a short leash. A late round pick 5th or later isn't too much too gamble compared to the reward. Just like a late round pick for Vilma who is just coming off a major knee surgery.

Here is a good positional breakdown with the new additions to the team leading into offseason workouts. I had no idea Skyler Green is now a Saint. BTW Booger is now with the Steelers. http://www.theadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080323/SPORTS/803230354/1006
Overall not a great offseason so far. We have 2 questionable defensive players that MAY help us. I hope we fare better in the draft.
I think it's been a pretty darn good offseason, if for no other reason, the fact that we've retained all of our key free agents. The core is still intact, and we are allowing ourselves to build. Vilma's going to be a HUGE upgrade at linebacker if he can stay healthy. Gay won't take the starting job away I dont' think, but he is great depth at least. We've done nothing but upgraded (except maybe center). We haven't gotten a great DB yet, but we still have some time. If our first round pick is spent on a pass rusher or a DB, our secondary will be greatly improved next year. And, besides, we don't have to have the Bears defense, we just have to have a defense good enough to get off the field on occasion and give the ball back to our offense.
FYI- Keith Rivers ran a 4.51 at USC's Pro Day today. And since Sed Ellis could be around in the #9 range, he ran a 5.0 40.
