Linebackers:

Linebackers (5-7)

Locks: Stephone Anthony, Dannell Ellerbe, James Laurinaitis

Good bets: Craig Robertson, Nate Stupar

On the fence: Dillon Lee, Michael Mauti, Jeff Schoettmer, Tony Steward



We can talk about the issues at cornerback, in the run defense, and at pass rusher. There was arguably no bigger issue than linebacker last season.

The Saints tried to address their issues by flipping wide receiver Kenny Stills to Miami for Dannell Ellerbe and a draft pick, but Ellerbe suffered some injuries and was limited last season.

Offenses responded by picking New Orleans apart in the flats and over the middle, where the linebackers routinely had coverage issues. And as injuries mounted, the team was forced to turn to the streets to try and address a lack of depth.
