I agree with most of what rez said except for getting rid of JGraham.

After watching the SF and CP game , which was just what I had hoped to see and thought I would, the Saints need to come out with attitiude of wanting to win. 1st qrtr. 15:00 on the clock.
No, I do not mean antics of chest thumping, fighting, not that.
I mean coming out strong, hard, fast and with few turnovers to the other teams.

I know turnovers happen. It is the game, but Saints seem to make way too many turnovers to the other team.

Turnovers and starting the game so slow in scoring and momentum killed the Saints yesterday and at least during the season against NEPats and CPanthers.
Coming back after 2nd half when you are a good ,say, 14 pts. behind is usually too late unless you have luck , which is not a guarantee , or you are I-do-not-know-how -they-do-it Brady and PManning.
Andrew Luck and Colts really fought back and it work and good luck too.

Looking at SF, they totally destroyed, broke the CPanthers down. Early on.

I think SF will destroy SS AGAIN.

OL has a ton of FA so i expect some upgrades at least depth wise. Mack will get close to million on the open market. expect a bidding war. will he want the pay day or go for less and win? Some really solid ROT/OG are in the draft this year.

legitimate #1 WR is glaring and has been for years. Colston is a Z WR in our offense not a #1

Defense needs bigger and faster OLBs. We are just to small.

DL need quality depth added.

CB need a solid #2 with size and speed. We also need to get a developmental player to bring along.

FS we need hands size and speed.

The draft has almost all the needs this year for us,

Once again to reduce the cap the best means of attack is through the draft.

How is Haralson at 255 and Galette at 258 too small? That's a pretty standard 3-4 OLB size...

4. 2 Running Backs Need To Go ... Neither named Ingram or Robinson ( Imagine Saying that Last Year ) Sproles can Stay , if he's odd man out we will address this in the draft.

5. With new cap space , Sign Alex Mack Pro Bowl Center Browns. Versatile Safety Ryan Clark Pittsburgh. definitely Resign Bush. Offer Darius Heyward Bey WR . Sign LB Jon Beason to a 1 yr deal.

6. Draft : Kelvin Benjamin FSU (wr) , If Sproles goes , D Thomas RB Oregon 3drb 2nd round.

Perhaps a new OC ... Our hurry up offense caused delay of game penalties ... Why would we give defense time to adjust catch their breath and get settled ? That's like letting Tyson cock back !! Sign Mark Helfriech , if foles can shine in that offense wonder what Brees could do !!!

DHB is doing nothing for the colts no thank you. We need a stud and he is not that.
