Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Nice... this ought to be a good camp!

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We did nothing to address DE. Just have to hope that the boost to the interior pass rush with Fairley and Rankins will help disguise it.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Yeah. Kafusi, Bullard were there in the early third; really liked both for our multi-fronts and could've swap with the Titans, Browns with less minimal damage...

If Payton wanted Bell that badly, wished he'd taken Bell instead of Thomas...

We'd had picks left in the third, fourth; and we could've taken David Onyemata with the fourth and still had two fifth round picks, this year and next...

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Onyemata will become a DE which solves the DE problem. I really think we addressed needs very well this year.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I have a question JP... Sheldon Rankins played the 5-technique at Louisville so could you see him playing some of that with us? Maybe keep Jordan at the 7/9-technique and have Richardson/Rankins on the strong side.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

That's what Payton has said anyway... Onye will be DE in the base package, with Kikaha DE in some sub packages. I wouldn't be surprised to see Onye also play in the inside occasionally
