You need the best available defensive player. Your offense doesn't need anything more.

What we really need is a pass rushing terror. Bur those guys are usually gone way before the end of the second round so maybe LB is the best option.

I wouldn't be surprised though if they went OL. If we franchise Nicks that might happen. I doubt we use our first pick but we will be drafting a tight end at some point too.

Ronnell Lewis
Played some DE, however showed great ability to cover as OLB. Will be a big ST contributor and a violent hitter with sure tackling.

Late 2nd round and should be available when our pick comes around.
Lewis has a lot of raw talent which may be discovered on pro-days or the combine thus causing him to move up in the draft, but as of today he is projected to be there when the saints are on the clock.

Rueben Randle in the later rounds would be nice as well

Lewis will not be there when we pick unless he tears an ACL or something before the draft. The dude is considered a late 1st or early 2nd round pick, neither of which we have. Some scouts even have him going in the mid 1st. It's nice to dream though.

Personally I'll take the Bleacher Report Dream Draft.
