With Colston gone we are either going with a WR similar to Treadwell or we will get a high dollar one in FA. Wouldnt surprise me if we got Treadwell somehow. This defense is loaded with defense and a tall legit number 1 receiver is a huge need. More than most realize.

I'd sure love to have a stacked offense for Brees' last few seasons and his replacement's first couple.

Having a combination of Treadwell, Cooks, Snead and Coleman all entering their prime will certainly help the transition.

But after that I'd love to see all defense, with maybe an OG or TE squeezed in there somehow.

Having that many weapons could extend Brees career a year or two. As his accuracy and arm deminish these guys have the ability to make the tough catches. I am totally on board with your assesment. Treadwell at 1 then defense, then guard and TE. I think we can find a guard in FA. He wont have to acclimate to the speed of the NFL and can step right in to protect Drew. Even great guards have trouble acclimating to the NFL as rookies. Offensive line is a position group where experience is almost as important as talent. Almost.
