Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

JP,

I noticed Jimmy Pruitt is listed as a safety on your most recent roster ... typo or had I not noticed him lined up at the FS position in camp?

After a few days of hard hitting, the time has come to heal a bit before going at it with the Pats.

Well, you know one of the reasons why they spread out the signings to several positions is so they'll be fresh bodies for all the reps...

Found out from inquiry that Pruitt has been taken reps in practice at Safety...

Highly doubtful Byrd is with this team next year, and we're as deep at cornerback in the history of the franchise...

So think they're just trying to see what his range will be to give them options going into the offseason next year...

Agreed and good stuff.

Drafting corners seems to be trending upward.

With all the Saints' movement up in the draft back into the second round (e.g. Vonn Bell) and again into the fourth round (e.g. David Onyemata) we'd probably had taken another CB this year if we'd had a full complement of picks...

Really wanted us to take Southern Miss CB Kalan Reed, this year's Mr. Irrelevant, but the Saints enjoyed another fortuitous bounce with Cal RB Daniel Lasco still available in the seventh...

We'll probably target Guard, Safety and Defensive End in next year's draft, but I wouldn't be surprised if we continue taking corners even with the good crop we have at present; other than franchise QB's, corners have excellent
trade value...
