Do Saints Need To Make Trades For The 2017 Season?

Well, it looks like the injury bug is starting to bite us early already this year.

Saints FO totally failed on not vetting a cardiac problem more fully before signing Fairley to an extension and likely missed opportunities to get better defensive interior talent...

Then they really failed to get a proper assessment of the injury to Delvin Breaux, who should finally be returning to us in four more weeks, with another three weeks to get to speed...

Strief hurts more from a leadership standpoint, though the extra body in the Offensive line rotation is troubling...

Though the rest of our offensive line is getting healthier, we really only have one utility lineman, albeit a good one, in Senio Kelemete now...

Anzalone had first round talent, seventh round health/constitution; but it's now left of with four of the six linebackers we broke camp...

Mitchell Loewen was a sparkplug breaking camp, now on IR; we have just three interior defensive linemen now with Rankins, Onyemata and Davison, playing average ball, with little impact...

I know Kamara is playing well, but hated the cost of a second round pick in what should be an even deeper, talented draft in 2018...

Hate that our BYE weeks seem to come early, so this is tough, but do we need to make trades now for this season, or just wait a few more weeks and see how things play out?
