What is the Saints biggest need?

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

Re: What is the Saints biggest need?

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.
