The DT position is a sneaky need for us. Shy Tuttle has become a pretty reliable run-stopper in base defense but we need more interior pressure on passing downs. We have a grand total of 1.5 sacks this season from our DT’s and 7 TFL’s.

I don’t see us going O-Line in the first round. We aren’t going to bench or get rid of Ruiz or Peat. Ramczyk will move to LT and either Hurst or Young will play RT.

As far as what direction we will go in, we have to see who we lose to FA.

OL, WR (1a, 1b).

You need to bring in more quality players that will compete.

Free Agency/draft will be interesting for New Orleans.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: Draft Prospects, Scouting

But what if Wilson, Olave, or Treylon Burks are still on the board mid-way first round & we're on deck ? ...

For me, MT is still a question mark heading in 2022. One could argue that the Saints need a LEGIT #1 WR.

It’s amazing that there doesn’t appear to be any update on the timetable for his return. Will he be ready for training camp?

Understand, but look at how much coin you got tied up in Alvin Kamara, and the fact we no longer control the line of scrimmage - that's a non-starter...

You get a capable veteran FA WR as a stop-gap, and if MT is still showing his *ss, you won't have a problem getting a first round pick-plus in compensation...

And while moving MT would also give serious cap relief, believe that Sean will get this situation fixed before next season...

Who do you have in mind here?

Up my way, the talk has been how Jerrah J intends to retain the services of Michael Gallup ... I'd love to have him in New Orleans.

Juju Schuster is another intriguing player for me as well. Probably won't break the bank either.
