Like Graham or Morgan? WR/TE has to be arguably the last thing that the Saints are worried about right now.

If you're scared?

Buy a dog!

Falcons are garbage and always will be.

I think Brian is referring to the fact that we need some competition at the outside WR position to push and back up a relatively green Morgan. I agree that it's a need, albeit not a terribly pressing one.

We are one of the worst YAC teams in the league... Which makes Tavon Austin such an appealing player.

NO thanks. The only thing appealing to me regarding Austin is that a team may want to throw a bunch of picks at the Saints to move up to get him.

The Saints get more yardage than most NFL teams and have for years now. They didn't need YAC to make that happen.

True that. I forgot how terrible we were after the catch last season.

No kidding! We are the Greatest Show on Turf seeing as how we broke that total offensive yardage record by the Rams.

It's certainly not an area of need, but it would be nice to have someone that can create in space and/or turn a 5 yard catch into a 30 yard gain.

That is such an incredibly dumb statement. Total yardage doesn't even come close to telling the entire story about an offense's efficiency. The fact of the matter is, due to our lack of speed and "elusiveness" at WR, we rely far to much on Brees to create big plays, which is one of the main reasons that his INT numbers fluctuate wildly. A playmaker that can get YAC and create big plays after Drew gets him the ball would take some of the pressure off of him. This is exactly why he was so enamored with the idea of getting Sproles a couple years ago.
