There's no secret that I want and expect Donnie Edwards playing at ILB next year. However, a cheaper option, and younger, would be Courtney Watson of the Saints.
I was really high on him out of Notre Dame his draft year. He's a misfit in the Saints 4-3.
The Saints have actively been trying to trade him, and not for a premium pick or player. They actually traded him to Miami a few weeks ago for a guy who was a misfit, underachiever in Miami, but the trade was undone when the other guy (Moore) failed his physical. So Saban certainly sees Watson's value.
Watson was a highly productive player at a top NCAA program, and would be a natural fit into the BB 3-4. If the Saints were willing to trade him for another team's trash (Not meant to be mean. More like "spare parts"), is there any reason we couldn't trade Klecko to get him? Klecko would be a useful defensive lineman there. It would be an example of two teams swapping players who don't fit their systems.
I think he would be a great addition if Edwards doesn't come here, or even if he does.
