Circle back to the hated Atlanta Falcons off season in 2016 ..

GM Dmitroff (sp) went out and spent major coin to obtain Alex Mack (C) and Muhammad Sanu (WR). Then add Taylor Gabriel (Browns cut him) who has been a key addition to their passing attack. They have also drafted (Deon Jones, Beasely, Neal) well over the last few seasons. The payoff? NFC Championship game on Sunday and a possible trip to Houston for that ultimate prize.

Saints FO need to be sure and add right pieces this off season in FA and continue to build through the draft if we want to get back to the playoffs in the near future.

Re: Two positions
 

I agree, they needed a couple pieces on the O. A few FA on the D and has drafted well. The differance is Quinn knows how to piece together a D where Payton never has. Sometimes I really think Payton is his own worst enemy trying to put a D together.

Re: Two positions
 

I believe that we are strong enough at DT and we need a complimentary pass rusher opposite Cam Jordan. We also have the slowest LB'ers in the NFL.......so we need to draft a speedy ILB to start making plays on defense.

I also want a RG to open the run lane and protect Drew in his later years.

CB or LB-
We need the type of player that teams scheme around and run away from. Haven't had that in a very long time

Re: Two positions
 

See, I gotta disagree with this, and I'll point to one play in particular...

Ted Ginn "caught" a ball in the back of the endzone for Carolina this year and Robertson was on him the whole way...

I don't care if you had Patrick Peterson covering, you would'nt have had better coverage...

Between a healthy Ellerbe and Robertson (and Stupar wasn't too shabby in coverage either) we've got a solid nucleus which to build - but we do need depth...

What positions Anthony and Kikaha play when returning from Injured Reserve and how they fit the scheme will be a big part of that answer at linebacker...

Re: Two positions
 

Two HUGE questions mark players for me in 2017.

Add in Swann & PJ ... still a lot of unknowns at their respective positions.

Re: Two positions
 

DE is the most glaring need on this team. IMHO we got very lucky that Jahri Evans came back and played as well as he did I dont think that we can count on that again. Our LB corps is woeful adding talent there is crucial . Our trouble with injuries at CB demands that we find a couple of quality starters. I believe that the Saints need some kind of difference maker at any position. Cam Jourdan is the only player on our Defense that is close to that. FA targets this offseason should be at OG and CB. FA pass rushers are usually way too expensive. Filling needs in FA has been our method in the past and I hope this continues.

Re: Two positions
 

Yep, thats a lot of promising talent, but with some huge red flags.
