If Onyamata, Davison and Rankins continue to develop we have a good young core of players.....but they all still need that space eater like Fairley gave us last year. I don't know if the draft or free agents is the way to go though. I know we will probably sign mostly 2nd tier free agents and then address the needs again at the draft. It all depends on the Saints big board and how they view their needs.

If Alex Okafor can come back strong we should be fine at DE especially with last years two draft picks still learning the ropes.

I hope Okafor will still have that burst. I'm just not so sure he'll be the same player.

There’s a very good chance he would have to start the season on the PUP as well.

Tyeler Davison had an overall PFF grade of 81.0 (0 Sk, 22 Tk), followed by David Onyemata 80.9 (2 Sk, 18 Tk), then Sheldon Rankins 80.7 (2 Sk, 16 Tk)...

They're development is gonna have to leap this off-season in terms of production, but I'm not counting on it...

We've got to find an impact, productive DT3 for starters and Rankins is just not producing like a DT you take that high...

This is what I'd like on our defensive line...
