A kicker or punter, as we've already got those positions filled. Anything else I can probably stomach.

In a startling break from his usually taciturn demeanor, Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis revealed Friday the team has redlined certain areas as no-gos in next week's NFL draft.

"Kicker," he said, when asked if there was any area the team had scrubbed from consideration. He then expanded on his testimony.

"Kicker or punter," he declared. "We can eliminate those two."

Loomis was joking while discussing the defending world champion's status with the approaching NFL draft, which begins Thursday night. But the joke underscored his overall approach, as he candidly acknowledged.

Although Loomis indicated the Saints are looking more intently for defensive support, he also said developments over the last month have eased some of his concerns about the defensive line. Loomis made it clear the team would select an offensive player if he was the consensus best player available at that time.
