WR/LB/OT/G in the draft and we are good.

There is plenty of cap space that can be easily cleared. I shared an article a few weeks back that pointed out how the Saints could free up about $54 million through roster moves, roster bonus conversions, extensions and other contract manipulations.

And assuming we would be "good" is assuming that we hit paydirt on every one of those picks. The majority of players picked through the draft never pan out for one reason or another.
