What is the Saints biggest need?

triman · 02-24-2018, 03:26 PM

Pass rusher is the obvious answer IMHO.
A three down stud coverage thumper LB
A three down DT that adds some pass rush and requires double teams.
A slot CB
Pass catching TE that can block and create down the seam
True #2 WR
OG/C to complete depth on OL
QB to groom to replace Drew
KR/RB
These are the needs . I think that it is very hard to get a pass rusher in FA and it always forces you to over pay. Drafting pass rusher is the best way to get one.
LB is a position I would target in FA and draft
DT has a high failure rate in the draft and I feel that it is essential to have a good rotation to compete in the NFL. FA priority
Slot Corner is another FA and draft target.
TE usually takes a couple of years to develop I would like to get a young up and coming FA ,I also think we need to retool this position so adding a young TE or two would be advised.
WR are another target in FA and draft
KR is a position that we need a upgrade and I would give up a pick for a exceptional talent
After last yrs epic draft haul we are in a position to be able to take BPA at almost any position other than RB

Replace PJ Williams

Biggest need? I’d have to say DE. If you think we’re ok at DE because we can just re-sign a guy with a torn Achilles you might want to think about that for a minute. I think we’ll spend some money on that in FA.

NT to help crush the middle followed by an ILB followed by a TE would be my priority. A new SS will be needed to replace Vaccarro which I will not miss, I think with Jordan and Okefer , we're good on the DE spots but could use another backup.
