Really liked the signing of Lawrence Virgil...

I think there was some regret in letting him go originally. Virgil may not have star potential, but he damn sure has rotation potential.

Exactly! We don't need four All-Pro Defensive Linemen, but a rotation of six or seven defensive linemen up front, all with different "games", variety without a drop-off in play is the key and will keep the horses fresh for four quarters, sixteen games plus tournament play...

Ditto on the rotation!

Five Players who are vulnerable, in my mind, on this team:

RT Zach Strief - Underrated player who's sabremetrics suggest same; age is a b*tch and the first round selection of Peat suggests same...

LG Tim Lelito - Underrappreciated former un-drafted rookie; Senio's been getting the snaps, but that could just be exploratory...

RB CJ Spiller - though it seemed like a 1-2 punch when Ingram, Spiller signed; the Back half can't get out the Trainers Room...

FS Jairus Byrd - it may be time to cut losses now and remove the distraction and reminder that sometimes Coach Payton is wrong...

CB Keenan Lewis - no one will question his heart, pride; but the physicality of the game has taken its toll on Lewis...

And I still think we should have brought in another punter...

Watch out here ^^ ... Coach has given CJ a clean bill of health coming off OTA's. Good players don't suddenly become terrible. The guy is still dangerous.

Fingers crossed that he remains healthy.

Who will be the Saints fifth receiver? - Canal Street Chronicles

I don't know that Coleman is a lock to make this roster...

Hoping for the best from Brandon this year but do you remember just a couple of weeks ago Brees made a indirect reference about rookie WR Michael Thomas knew what he wanted & to make adjustments if he saw a certain coverage? This is where Coleman has struggled. If you aren't on the same page as Brees, there could be problems (trust/targets).

Coach Payton will give him his chance to shine in year 3 (see Toon). Good luck BC!

Yeah, and I don't know that Coleman offers enough in the way of the kicking game to be a lock for a roster spot...

Cooks really needs to step us in this his third year; 1200 rec yds, 14 rec tds is what I'm thinking...
