What we learned, trending now and final thoughts as the Saints clinch the NFC South

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Got the job done but drops were excessive. Every Taysom smile generates thousands of tears for Fantasy owners of Kamara including me. It's just wrong. I use to think Mormons were nice people. Not anymore....

Re: What we learned, trending now and final thoughts as the Saints clinch the NFC South

Unless there's an elite TE, this draft is so deep at WR, spend that first on either a CB or a LG/RT; spend our 3rd pick, next year's 2nd pick for another early 3rd pick and take two WRs where the crop is deep...

But I'm not taking anything less than two WRs in the draft; should we take a CB in the first, I'd make sure I have signed a PROVEN WR for that WR opposite Mike Thomas - get a PROVEN NFL Commodity...

And whoever scouted/recommended or gave a referrals on Smith and Ginn, take them off the Holiday Ham List...

Yep.

I believe the motto will remain the same as it relates to the 2020 draft.

Best Player Available. If it's another big nasty (see Ramz), so be it. Games continue to be won & lost in those trenches.

Despite the stellar play of rookie Erik McCoy admirably stepping into Max Unger's spot, we've not been this vulnerable in some time...

We've seen a dramatic decline in Peat who'd played injured and often shifted to LT for the fragile Terron Armstead; but coming into training camp out-of-shape, whether late season injury or naught, was terrible...

Irregardless of some of his 2017 accolades, Warford has been just okay at Right Guard, and we'd done better spending slightly more for Kevin Zeitler, or saving that money and getting as effective right guard for less...

Armstead is injured, again, likely out till the playoffs if we follow his trend since getting paid the Big Mo contract...

Not sure Brees' plans when we win the SuperBowl this year, but I'd strongly consider blowing this offensive line up, getting another first round stud for the offensive line, and reshaping it younger, stronger, better...

But whether free agency or draft, and I'd prefer at least a shot each way, we need a receiving threat, whether TE or a speedster WO opposite Michael Thomas to make it easier to open up the offense...

We're just losing to many third down conversions and red zone opportunities...

I agree with drafting the big uglies in the first round.....maybe early second round. We need another monster on the O-line to give us that edge we used to have in the trenches. Peat is likely gone after this season. I'm down with two new guards. Warford has never excited me so I wouldn't mind bringing in a new RG. However, if Drew is under center I don't want to mess with the continuity along the line.

The Mizzou & Vandy TEs are about the best in this class...both should be available when we pick. I'm not completely sold on either of them, though. If they fall I wouldn't mind either one at the end of the 2nd.

To me, a big ugly olineman should be our focus for that 1st pick. Ram & McCoy are the future but I'd be comfortable with 1 more young talented guy up front.
