Seriously. He would be perfect, either he or Rodney could got to FS and let Eugene Wilson move to CB, with James Sanders spelling both of them...

Me too, but it's looking pretty bleak now.

I agree but the Terrence Holt signing makes that pretty much impossible now.

Yeah but Harper tore his ACL, and we need insurance in case his recovery get's side tracked.
Bullocks has talent but he played poorly at times last season.
So depth at safety is a big need because our backup safeties are FA's and are pretty much gone.
Regardless I don't think the Saints will sign Hamlin, after the Deon Grant deal he's probably looking to land a huge contract. I think we'll sign Kaesviharn..who's more of a mid level FA.

I agree but I think Hamlin would've been an upgrade over Harper, who I wasn't wild about to begin with when we reached for him in the draft last year.

True, however I don't think we'll know the true potential of Harper unless he comes back healthy and plays significantly this season.
I can't pass judgment on him yet, because he's played so little so far. He struggled in the first game of the season, but got progressively better in each game until the injury, even making some big plays.
Don't want to sidetrack this thread into a Saints discussion though...
On another note. There's a rumor going around that the reason Hamlin hasn't been signed yet is because he has an injury of some sort, and teams are waiting until medical reports clear him.
Don't know what to take of that...

The jury is still out on Harper. I wasn't wild about the selection of him either, but after being burned by Kellen Winslow II in Week 1 he showed some vast improvement. Reminded me a lot of what Donte Whitner (whom people said Buffalo reached for as well) was doing for the Bills at the time -- I really like Harper now and I hope he fully recovers from his injury. I think he has the talent to be a very important cog in our defense for years to come.
/end Saints' discussion

Hamlin isn't that big of a need then b/c we don't need two safeties that play well in the box

I'd add the Eagles as a possible team as well. We need a good SS. It is our biggest need, in fact.
