—The New Orleans Saints could go many directions with two first-round selections in this year's draft, but I'm told by a scouting source with the team that they are in "win-now" mode and will look to plug holes in the secondary and at defensive end in Round 1.

—A potential target for the Saints at the end of the first round is Kansas State defensive end Jordan Willis. His stock is red hot right now, with already 13 team visits and/or workouts scheduled. I'm told by the same Saints source that they spent considerable time with Willis at the Senior Bowl and combine.

Win now? Let us be honest here.

What are the saints to do after the Cook trade? Now the inability to keep defenses out of the box will become a huge issue. For those hanging their hat on Tedd Ginn, well good luck with that one. Ever ask yourself why he is always out on the market as a free agent? Because of stone cold hands drops. For every one one high light reel there are 3 bloopers. He does not scare anyone. Even the saints went man coverage on him last year. Not worth game planning over the top safety help.

Never was a huge fan of the Cook pick. The saints once again the saints did not get the players to maximize that huge first round investment. Just wait till the Pats put him to use with the right supporting cast. What a waste! Add him to end of the list. Byrd feels better now that some one is behind him now.

The trade of Cook only amplified the needs of the offense. This needs list on offense is the same needs list since we drafted Cook and traded Jimmy. One day you have to complete what you started.

- Any one happy with or TE production or the contact money tied up in that position?
- Who is Zach's back up? We have no one. This is a dead horse Peat is beating
- Now we need a solid true #2 with the ability to keep defenses honest?

I am sick of the same shopping list year after year. Fix it now and forever.

Round 1 - O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6056 251 4.51 #88 Sr
Round 1 - Garret Bolles OT/OG/DT Utah 6050 296 4.97 #75 Jr
Round 2 - Chris Godwin WR Penn St 6010 209 4.42 #12 Jr
Round 3 - Curtis Samuel WR/RB/KR Ohio State 5105 196 4.31 #4 Jr
Round 3 - Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma 6011 226 4.50 #25 rSo
Round 6 - Robert Davis WR Georgia State 6025 219 4.45
Round 7 - Mack Hollins WR NC State 6040 221 4.53 #13 Sr

Once again the saints are going down yet another rabbit hole. Add all the players you want to the defense you want. It is not getting you to the super bowl much less a division title. We will be lucky to be sniffing a wild card. Even then the football gods will need play huge roll.

You can not keep doing stupid things to the offense and expect Drew to do it all. Drew can only do so much. The saints appear to have Drew playing with one arm behind his back yet again.
