Glaring issue
Zach Strief Age: 33
Jahri Evans Age: 33

Solution
Kevin Zeitler RG Cincinnati Bengals 26
Rick Wagner RT Baltimore Ravens 26

Keeping Zach and Jahri in an active rotation works for me. The OL would be the deepest and most talented we have had in years. maybe ever.

Williams has played 2 games. Breaux played 6 last year. Swann 7 in 2 years. Stability needed
Huge issue and you have to take into account the saints have gotten shorter at CB will the receivers in our division and around the NFL are getting taller. Lost way to many jump balls for touchdowns. Plenty of opportunity to address the issue with solid prospects through out the draft. This is a great draft to add talent and height. Heck if the saints added 3 of these CB/FS types in this draft I could accept it.

Marlon Humphrey CB/FS Alabama 6005 196 4.49 #26 rSo
Quincy Wilson CB/FS Florida 6012 211 4.54 #6 Jr
Cordrea Tankersley CB/FS Clemson 6002 195 4.48 #25 Sr
*Marshon Lattimore CB Ohio State 6000 195 4.47 #2 rSo
Brandon Facyson CB Virginia Tech 6011 191 4.52 #31 Jr
Kevin King CB/FS Washington 6032 192 4.56 #20 Sr
Rasul Douglas, CB West Virginia 6012 208 4.46 #13 rSr
Channing Stribling CB Michigan 6011 176 4.52 #8 Sr
Treston Decoud CB/FS Oregon State 6020 4.54 208 #14 Sr
Ahkello Witherspoon CB/FS Colorado 6021 195 4.59 #23 rSr
Jeremy Cutrer CB/FS Middle Tennesse 6011 170 4.49 #8 Sr

SDE there are some good options in the draft to upgrade this position.

*Derek Barnett SDE Tennessee 6025 265 4.65 #9 Jr
Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M 6052 260 4.78 #10 Sr
Solomon Thomas SDE Stanford 6021 275 4.84 #90 rSo
Taco Charlton DE Michigan 6052 272 4.87 #33 Sr,
Da’Shawn Hand DE/DT Alabama 6035 280 4.74 #9 Jr
Bryan Cox DE Florida 6031 260 4.77 #94 rSr
Trey Hendrickson DE Florida Atlantic 6036 270 4.82 #9 Sr
Tanoh Kpassagnon DE/DT Villanova 6062 278 4.87 #92 Sr
Tanoh Kpassagnon DE Villanova 6062 278 4.87 #92 Sr

1) The biggest glaring issue is SLB IMO. Sick of this failing 3 safety look

Ryan Anderson OLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr

This is the only defensive player I would target and go after in the draft so far. He has been atop my list for since the season started. Saints need a SLB that is the complete package. I think this is the player that would make the biggest impact on defense. Besides Jonathan Allen Leftover fav for last years draft. Besides I really do not see many SLB in this draft We are loaded with WLB/MLB.

2) Run stuffing, double team eating NT the has the ability to push the pocket. We have gap shooters at DT already. We need some beef to keep the LB clean and free up the other DL players to make plays. Day 2/day3 has a few

Dalvin Tomlinson DT Alabama 6022 305 5.14 #54 rSr
Ralph Green III DT Indiana 6036 320 5.14 #93 rSr

If you can get the light to turn on.
Jarron Jones DT Notre Dame 6051 315 5.14 #94 rSr
