Besides the obvious.. Drew Brees .. who on the team is the most valuable? My pick is Jonathan Vilma..

Gotta agree wiv ya, JV is the outspoken leader on D. Many people did not want him when he became available but he has had two consecutive pro bowl worthy seasons. He works well in Greggs system because he understands all different concepts, hey he even set up porters pick of favre by changing the defensive play to zone coverage. He always steps up in game changing fashion, be it a pick or a tackle for a loss!!

I have two players: Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks. No explanation needed.

Vilma is by far the most irreplaceable next to Brees. You can make a case for any of the O line. But Thomas was out all year last year and the saints won the SB. So, take it from there. Vilma is the cog in the middle of a adequate defense. If the Saints add some run stoppers in the middle of the line, we could see a repeat.

All of them but since you made me pick just one. Drew Brees!

Besides the obvious, Brees and Vilma, losing Will Smith right now would be detrimental. The D-line is so thin cannot afford to lose him. I know he is at times a bit inconsistent, but he did have a very good year.

Brees, Vilma, PT, Marques, Hartley, Fresh Prince (Will Smith) hehehe!

Just to name a few.
