Walter Football: How To Get The Saints Marching Again.

An interesting article. I agree that this would be a great way to go.

How To Get The Saints Marching Again

The New Orleans Saints have gone 7-9 the past three seasons and four of the past five. This year they showed a lot of promise, but injuries on defense and a few bad games by the offense and special teams derailed their post season hopes. For the first time in years, the team's cap situation won't hold them back in free agency. Here is my blue print on how to the team and Who Dat Nation marching all the way back to the playoffs.

First we review the team needs (in order):

1. Defensive End

2. Cornerback

3. Guard

4. Linebacker

5. Offensive Tackle

6. Tight End

As with most teams, the Saints could also use more depth at various positions, including a QB for the post-Brees era, wide receiver, and in the secondary.

Cap Room: $32.6 million

Needs based draft. Picks in round 3 and 4 will require an act of god to fall to us.
interesting set up in FA

At pick #11, we should be able to get a "impact" player.

Agree completely, although I'd place LB and OG above CB, only because we have a lot of talent at CB, but a lot of questions.

I still feel really good about the Breaux-Williams tandem at CB. Re-sign Sterling Moore and put him at nickel and I think that's a really good group with Crawley and Harris as solid backups. Meanwhile, we don't have a real Mike LB.

Re: Walter Football: How To Get The Saints Marching Again.

The Saints' need is not for CB's. It is for healthy CB's. They have plenty on the roster. You only have so many roster spots. CB is a position that is prone to injury because of the constant quick on field adjustments required. It puts tremendous pressure on the knees. Why waste a first round, or even a second round pick on that position when defensive positions that have less chance of being lost are there for the picking?

Walter knows our Saints better than some of our front office personnel.
