Drew signs all we have left is the 34 or 43 debate left.

By going to this alignment with the rumored Fairley signing, you can see we don't look as terribly thin as before...

We also minimize the needs for our defense in the upcoming 2016 draft - allowing us more flexibility and not having to tip in our hand in our selections...

Just hoping Fairley can, wait for it, be all he can be...



DEFENSE

RDE (2) Cameron Jordan, Bobby Richardson, Tavaris Barnes, Obum Gwacham, Phillip Hunt

NT (3) John Jenkins, Kaleb Eulls, Ashaad Mabry

DT (2) Nick Fairley, Tyeler Davison

WLB (2) Dannell Ellerbe, Craig Robertson

MLB (2) James Laurinaitis, Nate Stupar, Jeff Luc

SLB (2) Stephone Anthony, Mike Mauti

LEO (2) Hau'oli Kikaha, Kasim Edebali, Davis Tull

RCB (3) Keenan Lewis, Kyle Wilson, Brian Dixon, Brandon Dixon

FS (2) Jairus Byrd, Jamarca Sanford, Alden Darby

SS (3) Kenny Vaccaro, Vinnie Sunseri, Erik Harris

LCB (2) Delvin Breaux, Damian Swann, P.J. Williams, Tony Carter

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

On paper; we could have a pretty decent defense. Not including the line...

Should Nick Fairley be signed, he could still play a 3-tech, but as a 3-4 DE. Wouldn't that be interesting?!?



Note: The Graphic is confusing but the "S" lined up over the 3-tech DE and the Jack LBer would be the Sam LBer

DEFENSE

RDE (2) Cameron Jordan, Bobby Richardson, Obum Gwacham, Phillip Hunt

Assuming Fairley signs, our needs are:

Wide Receiver
Guard
Nose Tackle
Safety
Cornerback

I am not overly excited by this off season so far. I see some improvements but drafting again in the top 20 of the 2017 looks likely

H, don't be hatin'!!!

This is a good thing. I hope the draft is just as boring. This is what the saints needed to do. except for signing.

SS (3) Kenny Vaccaro, Vinnie Sunseri, Erik Harris

FS (2) Jairus Byrd, Jamarca Sanford, Alden Darby

Not one of these guys has job security in my book. I would not let Kenny hold us hostage in FA. let him walk and take the comp pick if he thinks he all that great as a Safety. I can not wait to get from underneath Byrds contract. This is a good deep year to add some serious depth upgrades in the secondary. Let the back ups slug it out. plenty of room for healthy upgrades. At least some that will a bigger impact on special teams while waiting for annual IR bug land. Start grooming replacements now.
