Oh the punnery! St. Louis Rams free agent DE James Hall is a priority for the New Orleans Saints who see Hall as the replacement for starting DE Charles Grant.
The Rams have openly stated a desire to bring back Hall and/or Leonard Little. Little, at 35, is more of a situational pass rusher at this point in his career, and the Saints are looking for an every down guy. That's postponed their visit with Little.
No word on any progress the Rams have made with either player.
Just my opinion, but defensive end has to be a priority in this draft...more than DT, again, in my opinion. I'll be interested to see what players are available in the second and third rounds for the Rams. We've talked about the possibility of the Rams leveraging their 33rd pick - the first of the second round - for more picks, but there's always the possibility of using it to trade up into the back end of the first round too.
Chris Long shared his thoughts on the situation with Little and Hall in an interview I conducted with him yesterday. Look for that tomorrow on TST. Shameless self-promotion.

If Hall goes, there is a DE in our draft
That’s as close to a sure thing as you’re gonna get going into the draft, except for signing the #1 before the draft even begins of course.
I want to see some paragraphs of Chris Long interview now, not just sentences…
finally....
….someone who agrees with me that defensive end is more of a pressing need than we think. The only legit ends we got left are Chris Long, Victor Adeyanju and CJ Ah You. Like I said in other posts, Spags defense that won the super bowl for the Giants was predicated on having defensive end type pass rushers on the field at the same time. Mathias Kiwanuka was used as an outside linebacker so they could all be utilized at the same time. I would like to see us get Suh in the first round, Sean Weatherspoon in the second round and George Selvie in the 4th round. If Brandon Graham drops out of the first round we gotta take him in the second….
i highly doubt
that weatherspoon will drop out of the first round but brandon graham is a possibility and i’m a big fan of him. it seems we’re getting bradford, which i don’t mind, but throwin him in as a rookie can ruin his career… i think they should’ve had bulger start next year while sam learns, can’t be any worst than last year right? but now it’s just a waiting game as to when bulger will be released.
i wouldn't mind hughes
he should be open in the second round and with potential to be a first rounder, he may be a steal like laurinaitis. griffen may go in the first but either way, he underachieved way too much at usc to be picked 33 or lower and that is coming from a trojan fan.
