The Saints have made a few bad moves going into 07, maybe now they'll finally draft a CB in the first round. I remember them passing on Trufant to get a average at best DT about 4 years ago.

That made me sick! That was the '03 draft, and we traded away TWO first round picks(#17 and 18) to Arizona to move up to draft that deadbeet Johnathan Sullivan. I totally thought it was gonna be Trufant, as did every mock draft in the universe. Average is giving Sully way too much cred. He was a lazy fatty who, according to former Saints DT Kenny Smith at a football camp I was at in Vancouver a couple years ago "He just didn't love the game".
In terms of CB's, word has it that upcoming UFA DeAngelo Hall was overheard telling Sean Payton last night that he'd play for Payton "at the minimum". The fact he said "at the minimum" leads me to believe he's exaggerating and just expressing to him how quickly he's gonna be out of Atlanta at the end of this season, but it also shows he's at least interested in the Saints(and probably realizes how badly they need another CB and will probably shell out the $ for one). Although I'm not sure how keen I'd be on that move. Hall has shows in the last couple years what a thug he is, and I'm not really sure if the Saints would make this move. Especially considering the great lengths Sean Payton has gone to rid this team of bad character players the past two years(Johnathan Sullivan, Dwight Smith, Donte Stallworth, Kendyl Jacox, Joe Horn to name a few)
