DT is the bigger need area at the moment than LB, but the Saints will undoubtedly pick the BPA once again.

If the Saints lose Dunbar I think MLB is a huge need. with Bunkley, Ellis, Johnson and Mitch King who I like. I think MLB is a bigger need depending on wheither Dunbar signs or not. I also think a speed rusher at DE is a bigger need.

Yes, you have some good points, but the odds are that among the MLB, DE, and DT positions of need - the BPA when the Saints pick in the 3rd will be a DT, because that is the class that has the most talent and depth in this year's draft.

Kendricks will never in a thousand years drop down to the 3rd round, and the Saints can't afford to package picks in order to move up, because they need each and every one of those picks to create some roster depth.

It might be just me, but I don't see Bunkley, Ellis, Johnson, and King as a good enough interior lineman corps if the Saints have any desire of getting some push from the middle of that front 4.

The Saints already have 5 DEs under contract and they can easily add f.e. Charleston if they so desire, and they can also add another from the draft if one should be available who Spags likes.

But having only 4 DTs under contract doesn't give them much rotation at that position, and Johnson and King have very limited experience under their belt, which makes that line-up even more questionable.
