True, we've an obscene amount of IRs, particularly at the LBer position; plus we traded a Anthony that DA was unable to redeem...

Now I'm more optimistic that Anzalone will get better medical care and will strengthen for the rigors of an NFL Season...

At the minimum, I'd like to see us get a 3-Down Mike and keep a seventh LBer on the roster:

WLB - Anzalone, Stupar

MLB - (TBA), Robertson, (TBA)

SLB - Klein, Mauti

Uhhhmmmm.......what no Teo?

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

Anzalone's health, it's a fair question, but he's now getting NFL-funded medical care so that may change...

We must have better depth at linebacker - we started our No. 5 and 6 LBers with in a playoff game...

And waited much too long to add quality LBers to our practice squad...

Yeah I'd rather keep Teo than Mauti or Stupar.

Crusader, you're absolutely right about Teo' and I didn't mean to leave him out. This was a really good FA signing. Quality depth and he was a dawg against the run.

I have no problem admitting Teo' exceeded all expectations I had for him. I honestly thought he'd be injured and cut by the end of camp. Glad to be pleasantly surprised.

Do you think the saints will go TE in round 1?

That’s just kind of the way that particular mock draft fell. It’s going to be tough snagging one of the top TE’s in the draft without a 2nd round pick. I’m not sure if Gesicki or Goedert will last until the end of the 3rd round. Maybe Fumagalli, but I don’t want to move off taking Kyzir White in the 3rd.

All of this could just be solved by signing Cameron Brate in free agency.
