Saints Scouts Attend Three Games at Virginia Tech

12-11-2016, 10:54 PM

We've got a much better base roster to improve upon than we had this time, last year...

Here's what we need this offseason...

( ) Re-sign DL Nick Fairley

( ) Re-sign CB Sterling Moore

( ) Re-sign SR Willie Snead

( ) Hire Special Teams Coach

( ) Hire Linebackers Coach

( ) Sign FA Right Guard (Kevin Zeitler, Cincy should be our priority in free agency)

( ) Sign FA Tight End (e.g. Jordan Cameron, Miami; Cameron Brate, Tampa; Ryan Griffin, Houston)

( ) Sign FA Fullback (e.g. Kyle Juszczyk, Baltimore; or bring back John Kuhn)

( ) Sign FA Long Snapper

got a two for one here

Rhett Ellison TE/FB/slot/ Vikings 28 / 6'5' / 250
Swiss Army Knife, nastiness is his specialty. plays all over the place. never off the field.

A freak like OJ do not come along that often. I throw needs out the window

McCaffrey falls into the same thing IMO. May not be an every down back but he can line up all over the place and never need to leave the field any ways.

Besides if the draft goes any where close to what the media experts are saying we can trade down stash picks and fill needs later

Sprinkle in a play maker or two on defense in FA (see GIANTS) while you are at it. Currently we have no one who can create turnovers on defense.

We need oline.

Road graders not pass blockin specialist

But my top priority would be defensive front 7 that has the kill the qb mentality.we just cant get to the qb on a consistent basis we get close but close dont cut it in this pass happy NFL. ALSO a ballhawk secondary guy Someone who knows to TURN YOUR HEAD TO THE DAM BALL god our guys suck at this.

You can get both in same player(s) in the first four rounds this offseason - if you don't sign and/or select four cornerbacks, again...

WillSaints81 · 12-12-2016, 07:15 PM

Let me just say..........McCaffery? Um, why?

I'm tired of the Payton products, I really am. And this is a white RB. I guess we still want imitate SD by bringing in a Woodhead type but this is bad. Is what this offense really needs to get back to doing what it did before?

Also, with games like against the lions, you're not gonna kill stafford's mentality if your QB can't attempt to score. I don't think disruptive pass rushers is the remedy for a average oline that can't block Ansahs and McCoys for Brees. And Beasley is getting there too.

We passed on guards last year n the fourth round because the FO didn't like any of them. As we all know, this FO is not gonna draft for needs in the draft and guards aren't sexy therefore they get no recognition from this FO.

While the talent at OT in the first round surround player that will not play the positions they played in college

LT are few and far in between
I will say this is a pretty solid year for RT
But this a great year for OG if all these players come out.
Versatility inside abounds .

Now the CB response is a bit concerting to me. I love the secondary talent available all the way to 5th.
