Analysts keep saying we need another WR - we certainly could use another dedicated WRz, but how can they not see the need for CB2, NT and OT?

I think WR is more of a need than a lot of people think. Harris, Smith, and Calloway, have huge potential and have shown they can get it done but injury is definitely a concern. All of them seem to get dinged up a lot. I think LB, CB, and the defensive line are priority but we aren’t as set at WR as some might think.

WRz is a need; Harris is able to do some things, but you need a 6'0"/2" burner (e.g. Devery, Brandin Cooks) to stretch defenses, deepen passing buckets...

Draft? Other than the elite, I'd focus on other positions through the first two, early third round. Guys that could do the job and should be there later in Rounds 3, 4 are:

Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Jaelon Darden (short as well, but dynamic), Tre Nixon, Marlon Williams, Racey McMath, Marquez Stevenson...

Interesting that the two teams with, by far, the fewest snaps from drafted/UDFA's have won the last two championships.

Good observation. However, we got more production from UDFA's than any other NFL team. These aren't scrubs without talent. These are the players who weren't drafted because they fell for a variety of reasons but they all have great potential. UDFA's know that they will get a fair shot in New Orleans.

Sitting tight, even trading back and drafting players seems to improve the overall quality of the roster? Imagine that...
