This roster really has very few holes, LG, RG, WR-Z, RDE, maybe CB2...

And we've got to spend a lot of money soon to keep some of those 2016-17 draft picks...

That’s just it... I understand drafting BPA, but with the big money we’ll be shelling out soon we might not be able to use free agency to address needs. I have no problem narrowing down what position we’ll address in the first round.

JP -

I do recall the conversations you had with Chris, our dear friend Hagin and others on the G position several seasons ago. Specifically Brandon Scherff ... he's battled injuries as of late however he's a BIG NASTY that we obviously NEEDED in the playoffs against the good teams.

If SP and co intend to "retool" around Brees in 2020, upgrade the GUARD position this off season. IIRC the Saints were HIGH on Brandon coming out of that 2015 draft class. If they believe this is your guy to get us over the top, spend the money and welcome him to New Orleans.

Keep an eye on this player as we enter the off season and into Free Agency.

G used to be the stoutest position for us on the O line, we could get by with decent T. There are some really good G coming out in this draft. Decently deep. I'm all about the youth movement on both of the front lines. Payton usually drafts good ones but gets a Charlie Brown every now and then. 2nd and 3rd round I pull the trigger. They will still be there.

SLB (2) 53 - A.J. Klein, 58 - Stephone Anthony (FA 2019)
MLB (2) 54 - Kiko Alonso (Trade MIA), 51 - Manti Teo (FA 2019)
WLB (2) 56 - DeMario Davis, 52 - Craig Robertson (FA 2019)

Upgrades needed ^^^ if your name is not DEMARIO DAVIS.

Kiko (3rd ACL), Teo (limited/bad in coverage), Craig (nothing but more than depth), Klein (good in nickle packages only), Anzalone (durability/can't count on him in Dec/subsequent playoff run)

Losing MIKE NOLAN ... huge.

Kiko Alonzo , Alazone and apple can walk , pj willams ,Marcus Williams can get traded it wouldn’t bother me in the least-and mike Nolan is leaving because of DA should have took over his job . The back end of our defense has sucked and keep sucking when it counts

We can't afford two, three Demario Davis's, no team can without sacrificing in other areas...

Most successful teams prioritize, slot money at QB, CBs, OL, WRs, DEs...

The Saints, like most teams, play nickel defense over 50% of the time, that's why stud LB thumpers don't get drafted to late in the third day of the draft, if at all...

Get the frustration, but for what we're paying - Klein is a bargain. If Anzalone is signed at the same slot, so would he. From what I'm told, Anzalone extensive college injury finally has the care, time to heal...

And I'd be really p/o'd to have given up Vince Biegel for a one year rental on Alonzo; the quad injury was a freak injury and he obviously came back too soon and compounded his injury...

Plus, we have some terrific young LBers who were stashed on Reserve, Injured that will bring a lot to Training Camp this coming season...

If we haven't traded away our 5th, 6th round picks, I'm looking for guys like Cal's Evan Weaver, Wake Forest' Justin Strnad, and former QB, UNC LBers Chazz Surratt to fall and snag them then...

All we got is Demario. Those guys "stashed" on IR, practice squad aren't the answer. Trust me on this one. Watch the Niners LB core on Sat and tell me if our current roster at LB collectively can play at that same level.

I think Parcells said it best ... "if you have too many average guys on the roster, it makes you an average team at best".

jeanpierre 01-10-2020 02:52 AM

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
Parcells also never sniffed the SuperBowl after Free Agency took over the league after the late 90s...

Could our linebacker play be better? Absolutely.

But our linebacker play is still among the top third in the league, and I can live with that if our skill players, WRs not named Thomas, DBs would step up and finish the deal...
