Saints position outlook: Michael Thomas has become one of the best receivers in the league, but New Orleans might look for other upgrades

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't think the Saints FO will entertain Landry's demands ($$), but I really thought he would be become the more polished NFL WR coming out of LSU ... even more so than Odell (DIVA but elite). Hindsight is 20/20 ...

Hindsight is 20/20 but damn Allen Robinson and Landry were still on the board yet we chose Stanley Baptiste . Outside of Cooks, that was just an awful Saints draft, just awful.

I'm so thankful now for Jeff Ireland as Scout director.

In case this got lost in everything, I'd remind everyone...

We don’t really sign big name WR’s. In fact, Ted Ginn is the only one I can think of in the last 10 years. We like either drafting or taking unknowns and molding them into our system.

Great Point - I really believe we make a run at replacing Fleener with Graham, or the like, eliminating Tight End from our "Needs" come draft time...

Know a lot has been made of the slot, but if the Saints are truly shifting the Tight End focus to one of blocking, then I see the emphasis at Wide Receiver will be to sign another big bodied guy who can post up and win jump balls...

Knowing Payton though, I suspect Graham are some other Tight End is signed before the draft and we take a Tight End (i.e. Goedert) in the first half of the draft...

Austin Carr is no joke. Kinda shocked he didn't make the field this season but we got him too late. Great hands and the dude can jump. I totally see him taking over the slot.
