2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

2018 lacked a true slot receiver & TE. I really don't care who we bring in as long as the production and the ability to create separation is there.

Once MT is blanketed/doubled, it's over.

Have Faith that the rookies Tre'Quan and Kirkwood will progress; Brees just likes his system and you're right, we failed to replace the Lance Moore/Willie Snead IV role...

Payton doesn't trust Josh Hill and I think that's why we saw some forced action to Dan Arnold who definitely flashed some tremendous potential, even if he's raw at a new position, learning on the NFL fly, no less...

But, at the end of the day, we still had a Top 5 offense that should have won the Superbowl...

Can't help but bring up that with those older veterans breaking down, we peaked too early in the season and faded which is why teams (i.e. Pats) with young drafted players always come on in the playoffs...

I just don't know.

Both could blossom however Tre better get his mental game turned around quickly. You just can't rely on them outside of being wide open (even Tre dropped a few of those). Route running & technique must improve. Wide receivers shouldn't struggle as much with Brees throwing them the ball.

If the likes of Hakeem Butler, Parris Campbell (Ohio St) or even Ridley falls to us in the 2nd and he's the best player available on your draft board ... take him.

I understand the Brees factor, but remember Kirkwood got little favors from his Colleges in the way of development, prep for the Pro Game...

Tre'Quan was a 3rd round pick WR, that's usually a year of development before seeing significant snaps on the field on most teams, but need forced him on sooner...
