2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

K Major · 03-28-2016, 07:34 AM

Don't be surprised to see Ireland pick up a cornerback in the 4th or 5th rounds in next's month draft. The depth chart at the position is concerning.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft a WR or a CB either.

I am sticking with S/CB hybrids day 2 and 3. One of the best drafts for those in a few years. kill two birds one stone. add 2 and kill 4 birds with 2 stones.

SS is screaming at me. WEAK SPOT!! Then again it could just be my echo from the pass few years

Yeah, but we've got Kenny V, Vinnie Sunseri and Erik Harris; so if we get Sua Cravens, where's he gonna play?!? Cut Sunseri?!? Trade Kenny V?!?

We now have some room for a Terron Armstead extension as well as for a first round draft pick (remaining picks will not count as their alloted amount will not be among the Top 51 earners)...

Or perhaps we can take a look at adding C/G Stefen Wisniewski?!?

jeanpierre · 04-03-2016, 07:41 AM

Curious that we haven't extended Terron Armstead...

We extend Junior Galette prematurely, but we haven't done the same for Armstead...

Curious...

Curious...

We do normally wait until the last minute to do these things. Galette was a real head-scratching anomaly. I wouldn't expect an Armstead extension to get done until next February.

Armstead will be twenty-five when the season begins, entering his prime, rather than established in it...

He hasn't garnered any All-Pro recognition and was just a Pro-Bowl alternate...

I'd rather negotiate his deal now, before, all those accolades come down...

I'm with you 100%... But Loomis never does these things the easy way.
