But what really jumped out at me was how poorly PFF thought the DT3s performed...

And the guard situation is worse than we thought, the 2018 third and fourth round picks of Tre'Quan Smith and Rick Leonard, really hurt...

Got to address Guard in Free Agency...
Our DTs outside of Brown performed very poorly. I wasn't too shocked to see that. I think DT is our biggest need this year. Rankins doesn't look good after the injuries, Onyamata didn't make the leap during his contract year and the rest are practice squad guys.

Needs this off season in order...
DT
OG
WR
LB

Fortunately, there are a ton of free agent DTs and OGs this year. The draft should be used for WR and LB, but these other positions could easily be improved with free agent signings. Two guys I like that shouldn't break the bank...

A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Lions. Age: 25.
A'Shawn Robinson played well in 2018, but took a step backward this past season. Robinson had been dealing with a knee issue entering the year and ended up missing a handful of games, so his 2019 decline can be attributed to him being banged up.

Johnathan Hankins, NT, Raiders. Age: 28.
Johnathan Hankins' pass-rushing ability has declined in recent years, but he's still a monstrous run stuffer.

Price tag would be high for this one, but our D would be unstoppable.
Leonard Williams, DE/DT, Giants. Age: 26.
Leonard Williams failed to log a single sack in 2019, but that's not indicative of how well he played. Williams was a force in the trenches, as both a pass rusher and a run stuffer.
MarchingOn and CHA_CHING like this.

The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
