That said, yeah, will miss Okafor who showed up and played himself into a great contract, but we now have a former first round pick who can rotate with Cam, Davenport, and Trey-Rex - that's not too shabby...

The Saints went after Ziggy, Robert Quinn and Gerald McKoy this off season in FA. God forbid anything happens to Cam J or Davenport, we are in deep s***.

Saints need a 4th DE & it won't surprise me if we bring in another vet post training camp.

Actually, we never went after McCoy, so either Payton feels good about DT3 as is and/or in the medicals that Rankins will be back with an impact this season...

Only positions Payton has really tried to address, emphasize from a post-training camp/final 53 situation is interior OL, edge defender, and punt returner...

Ok, minus McCoy

. My point was I don't think the Saints are completely confident on what we have behind Davenport & Cam J.

Typically you would like 4 DT's (see Philly title team) in the rotation. Right now we have Edwards, Stallworth, Malcolm & maybe a rookie or possibly a proven vet as #4.

I'd be very surprised if we see Rankins before November. I hope the Saints medical team don't have him return but not at anything less than 100%.
