"Unfinished Business" What are your expectations?

From the Sporting News via Yahoo! Sports:

Following the NFL draft, Sporting News' NFL correspondents filed reports on what teams must do to fill needs this summer. Here's what NFC correspondents see as necessary player personnel moves:

New Orleans Saints

The Saints are a better team now than they were three months ago, when they lost the NFC championship game. They re-signed all their key free agents, returned 21 of 22 starters and then upgraded at six positions. The team doesn't have any glaring needs. The bigger issue will be dealing with higher expectations, an improved NFC South and a schedule that includes trips to Indianapolis, Seattle and Chicago.

Instead of grading the test before it's been taken, it's probably more productive look at how the team is positioning itself for next season and beyond. Personally, I'm ecstatic about the offseason moves the team has made. Locking key FAs like Grant, signing the only two Bengals that didn't get arrested and bringing deapth to a thin D were all great moves. I like the midset of the FO in the draft too. They are thinking ahead and signing value guys that will hopefully make an impact in comming years. We were the undisputed second best team in the NFC last year and the Bears' offseason has turned into a trainwreck with the Briggs situation. Add in the way the team cashed in on the Colts' blue-light special on CB's and my expectations are through the roof.

Expectations:

12 Wins, #1 Off., Top 5 Def., Brees - MVP and an early February trip to Arizona.
