One issue I see with the Saints is that since winning the SB in 2009 we can field an offense or a defense, but not both. During the dregs of the 7-9s the offense was cruising while the D SUCKED. Then as we focussed on building up the D our since then the offense has been slipping. Yes, Brees is not what he once was but I see a considerable amount of his "slippage" coming in the form of a lack of receivers that don't have the twitter handle of cantguardmike and an offensive line that has been really struggling. Our once dominant screen game was non-existent this year, mostly due to the fact that the O line couldn't get there before the LBs and DBs did. Every screen was a naked screen, but not by design.

If you look at this year's losses, they were mostly due to below average performance of the O line and the D's penchant for blowing it in the last two minutes of the game or OT.

Would we go Defensive End, again, to get someone reliable across from Cam?

Small school, not a lot of "hype" but when you watch his tape ... wins a lot of his one on one battles.

Sounds like Mr. Assumption (Deonte Harris) who absolutely terrorized teams in 2019. I have a lot of faith in our scouting dept to find another diamond.

No secret that "Thee" Ohio State is the Saints farm system ...

I wouldn't rule out drafting any player coming from this school as long as Sean is HC.

Small school and player many have never heard of ... Antonio Gandy-Golden - Liberty

Big size (something SP likes) & can go get the 50/50 ball.

Think we already have that player in #CantGuardMike, what I don't see on the roster is the Devery Henderson/Brandin Cooks burner to stretch those coverages down the field, making the intermediate stuff easier...

Still say it was a mistake not keeping Cyril Grayson on the roster; his speed caught the DBs attention, and he'd at least pull one DB off of Michael Thomas...

Players I'm liking
Rd1 Shane Lemieux (got to show some love with that last name) G Oregon
6'4 317 speed 5.10 get him up to speed, should be good to go.
Rd3 Standford Samual lll cb Florida State 6'2 185 press cb, to relieve Lattimore and or hopefull Jenkins ( super cheap back-up)
Rd4 Ke'Shawn Vaughn RB Vanderbilt 5'10 215 4.57 powerback ( look at the yards after contact) could be the steal of the draft at rb.
Rd5 Harrison Bryant TE Florida Atlantic 6'5 4.74 complement to Cook and can actually catch the damn ball
Rd 6 Jaylin Hawkins S California 6'2 205 ( my dark horse) 4.59 Ballhawk we need to play single high
Setting up for a stout intermediate game for Brees and the O and shoring up a possible #1 backfield in the game.

If you haven't been paying attention Sean Payton has a "thing" about TE'S. The problem is he out thinks himself all the time.

Tampa Bay has a starting TE and a young back up QB because of it!

A waiver-wire claim 10 days before Arizona’s 38-24 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Arnold made his debut and caught a six-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone just before the end of the first half.

Dan Arnold? Remember him?

FinSaint

I remember him dropping an easy TD catch against the Rams in the NFCCC.

Good riddance...
