Well, at least Fleener has something to hang his mullet; got to minimize those drive-killin' drops!

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

This shows us what the best QB in Saints history can produce on a routine basis with whatever he is given. Please let him not choose to retire for another ten years. Seriously, Brees is still, and will be for the foreseeable future, an elite QB in the NFL.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Now look at our secondary...

LCB (2) 40 - Delvin Breaux, 46 - Ken Crawley, 43 - Jimmy Pruitt, 39 - Taveze Calhoun

FS (3) 48 - Vonn Bell, 30 - Erik Harris, 49 - Shiloh Keo, 35 - Robenson Therezie

SS (2) 32 - Kenny Vaccaro, 37 - Chris Banjo, 00 - Forrest Hightower

RCB (3) 25 - P.J. Williams, 24 - Sterling Moore, 21 - De’Vante Harris, 27 - Damian Swann, 00 - Anthony Gaitor

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

And our linebackers don't look to bad either...

SLB (2) 50 - Stephone Anthony, 54 - Nate Stupar, 42 - Travis Feeney

MLB (2) 58 - A.J. Klein, 00 - Manti Te'o, 00 - Adam Bighill

WLB (2) 59 - Dannell Ellerbe, 52 - Craig Robertson, 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha

Kikaha is a linebacker, not a defensive end; he may line up on the edge, but he's not going to anchor against the offensive line, contain the flow of a play, and force the action to the inside.

He'll be a good rush backer on sub packages, but long term, he'll have a tough time getting more playing time in this scheme which really requires four big men up front to anchor and control plays...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

My X factor going into camp will be Erik Harris. He was showing good promise prior to injury.

Side note - Vonn B will be better in year 2. He has ball hawk ability.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Adam Bighill... it will be interesting to see how his game translates at the NFL level.
