We don't know if any of these guys are difference makers or not. It's never a good idea to get too excited about rookies, especially lower round picks and UDFAs. I agree that we should be better than last year (it would be hard not to be) but the thing that gives me the most hope is Rob Ryan. Not that I'm particularly impressed with him. I don't really know much about him. But what I saw last year was a poorly coached and poorly prepared defense. There were previously solid veterans running around in circles looking like they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. When Jabari Greer looks lost something is definitely not right.
The draft is not always fun. More head-scratchers than not IMO.

Romeus was worth the risk.

I disagree with excitement level of UDFA's simply because of the success this regime has had with them.

So what should give us the most hope other than Ryan? Here's my answer in order of importance:

Payton
Brees
Ryan
Attitude of the team (see chip on shoulder)
Key (re)signings
Health
New blood
