Brees has 2 or 3 years left.
Brees as a once in a generation type guy deserves the opportunity to go out on top. It's clear that a defense is needed to accomplish that.


Without Brees we'll need a lot more weapons than we currently have.
There is no guarantee that Treadwell, or any other offensive skill player, can carry an offense without an elite QB.
He could be a much higher rated prospect than any of the defenders left at 12.
He certainly would. But does that really justify making a BPA pick, especially with the marked disparity between the offensive and defensive production of this team?
This draft is deep with D-linemen. We can still draft some talented defenders from the 2nd round on.
Talented is one thing. Impactful or elite is another. That's why I'm asking are there elite defensive players in this draft that should be the focus of discussion?
Oh, and numerous folks are talking defense. DE's DT's OLB's, CB's. Its not like defense isn't being discussed.
And yet thread after thread has pictures of #1 from Ole Miss with the caption "We need to get this guy."

Really? Do we?

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
