Of course you do.

Saints could certainly use a big-bodied WR who can also BLOCK & fill the Thomas void & I wouldn’t rule this position in Free Agency either.

New OC in town with a different mindset for the offense.

Competition is needed and necessary in NOLA.

AT Perry isn't a great blocker. Neither is Olave or Sheed. We need a big bodied, contested catch, blocking, physical WR and I wouldn't be surprised to see it addressed early in the draft.

And we need a new QB. And a new Head Coach. And a new General Manager. And a new Owner (not necessarily in that order).

Receivers dont win championships. See Kansas City.

Also I think AT Perry is a better blocker than Trevor Penning. And blocking is more crucial in Pennings position. So I would go with oline.

Any thoughts on the other McCaffery?

Wow we are meeting with everyone at the positions we are definitely not going to draft. I guess lets go for the hat trick and meet with some Centers while we are at it. The only way I could see drafting a corner making sense would be if we traded Adebo for a first round pick in order to attempt to pull some sort of Diggs-Jefferson coup at corner. Otherwise we are good with Adebo, Taylor, and Yiadom even if Lattimore is traded.

If you understood the evaluation process you'd know you talk to every player you'd consider because they could come around later. For example, that's exactly what New England did with Mike Vrabel. They knew they couldn't draft him given what they already had but told him when his first contract was up they like to be his next team. And that's exactly what happened.

Two guys from SF are free agents.
