New Orleans Saints looking to fill voids at linebacker, defensive end | - NOLA.com

There might be a general feeling of enough talent in the wings to replace Fujita.

Fujita did miss 6 games so these guys did get on the field, but there was a reason fujita was starting. Our front 7 is not good enough to work in another marginal player as a starter

Yer we need upgrades in our front 7, I think stanley arnoux needs serious consideration at outside backer, he has wat we need, speed to get to the outside and I think he wud fit well in williams system

bigger needs at DT and DE

LBs are the second issue with our run defense....not the primary issue

i kinda like our WLB collection and would be willing to go another year and find out what we got. But SLB is another issue all together. A true SLB would be nice in the first three rounds of the draft. Using WLB at SLB just did not cut it. DE is understandable.

So what is everyone thinking, DE as in a starter, or for depth? We have paid McCray starter money for two years now. It is time for him to step up or follow Grant out the door.

I would love to see us go BPA on D in the first 3 rounds, and then get some O-line depth after that. We need another skill player on offense like Sharper needs another press release, so hopefully SP won't be tempted.

i'm thinking a DE as a starter, but work mccray in on a rotation. I am sure gregg genious could find a way to get the best pass rushers on the field all at once!!!!
if we can get our front 7 top 15 wise, our secondary is already top 15, our d would be unstoppable!!!

I don't know - we may need some help at LB also

I'm ok with Arnoux or Casillas winning a starting job and not drafting an LB. I'm ok as long as Troy Evans and Jo-Lonn Dunbar aren't being passed off as starters.

I'm sticking with DT, as our most glaring need on D-line. I got so tired of long runs up the middle last year, that I almost puked a couple of times. DE would be next in line, and LB, would probably be third. Although, this is supposed to be a very deep draft for DT's this year, so I don't know. Probably why I don't do this for a living...
