ChrisXVI · 05-02-2021, 10:01 AM

Now I’m curious to see what numbers these rookies take with the new number rules.

Hopefully I can get #17 since #2 is taken.

I'm loving the versatility and depth on the D line.

Anyone think we're still in need of a veteran WR and CB?

Absolutely. Whether it's Conley, Sherman or Breeland you simply can't go into camp with Lattimore (he has legal issues too) & an unproven rookie expecting him to start. PRob is a year older and become injury prone and PJ is simply a guy I wouldn't trust on those boundaries.

It would be wise to add another veteran corner onto the roster.

I'd prefer another boundary or outside corner for sure; another true, serviceable z-receiver wouldn't hurt either...

Also, we could use one or two more Tight Ends since Griffin is essentially an TE/Hback vs Sean's type is usually prefers at TE...

If Griffin makes the roster, he'll be taken on the role Josh Hill had of the out-front lead-blocker...

Golden Tate. He could be just the guy to play that role.

Absolutely, I'd said the same thing earlier - he's a natural WRz, and he's always been a Saints Killer (So he's Sean's Type )...

I’m still a bit worried about the d line against the run. Brown and Rankins both were key to establishing the line of scrimmage and anchoring the run D. I’m not saying the guys on roster can’t handle it, but I have concerns.

I agree on both CB and WR vet help if it’s available and affordable.

Agreed. M.Brown’s replacement is not on the roster yet..., I also am worried about run defense.

Tuttle and Roach rose up the depth chart last season with both Brown and Rankins missing time, and they did a very nice job at it. So I'm not too worried about the big boys in the middle with Nielsen calling the shots, which is a nice departure from the Bill Johnson era.

That UDFA DT looks promising as well.
