The reason they've had garbarge LB play is because they've had nothing but below average LBs. The 1st time the Saints finally decided to draft a real LB was in 2015. When Vilma, Fujita and Shanle left there went the decent LB play. People complain about Vitt not developing LB talent but look at what he's had to work with. Last LB they drafted before 2015 was Martez Wilson. See how that worked out. There was better LB talent in that draft than Wilson. After that they finally stopped getting their LBs out of the bargain bin. Maybe now we'll have some decent LB play.

Not sure if you've read that article from Mike Detillier/AFC GM (Knives are out) yet but as he stated ... All those years of not hitting on draft days are catching up with them. Everyone in this league deals with dead money issues and some more than others, but this team really has not drafted well and even the 2015 crop is an up-in-the-air unit.”

I tend to agree with his assessment.
