The only way we're really gonna improve the roster is to sign FA in Free Agency, not Week 3.

Drafting has gotten better, though I'm having my doubts that Rankins can be an impact player...

Nah but its just like that at the end of the roster. You cut and move players depending on health and need regarding the rest of the roster. I still think they should expand the roster by 5.

Rankins is a part of a defense, He is not a corner stone of a defense, He needs help to be all that he can be.

Now
NT (2) 95 - Tyeler Davison, 93 - David Onyemata
Are not getting the job done.

While serviceable
DE (3) 57 - Alex Okafor, 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha, 97 - Al-Quadin Muhammad (R6, P196)
They are not doing their part either.

Rankins may get away with an upgrade at NT. Nut I think an inside rush DE, Like Jordan is in need also. Speed rushers swooping wide from the outside do little to draw double team.

The saints defense can not have impact when teams can man on man block every one and leave the fifth linemen free to help any where he is needed. that leaves the RB free to pick up who ever blitzes.

Right now I see the saints needing to send at least two players to have any kind of impact.

With the saints CB yet again banged limits us even more
