The strength of the defense was on the defensive lines depth being able to constantly rotate and keep freesh. Thats gone and once again there is little opposite Cam Jordan and nothing at CB outside of Lattimore who looks likely to get some sort of suspension.

Again on the offense outside of Thomas and Kamara its all hope X steps up. Theres alot of holes to fill in the draft and little money.
I really don't think that opinion is as unpopular as you think.

Oh i am
I dont think its all doom and gloom as theres really good pieces on the roster. Im just worried they have damaged the long term prospects for short term stability with these extensions.

Well the reload should have taken place last season; Drew was set to retire after the anticipated Superbowl Run until they shat their hat vs the Rams at home...

We'd probably be in the mix for a QB1 at the top of an exciting QB draft right now...

I'd like to see Taysom get a legitimate shot at being the Saints QB1 and it not be handed to Player No. 2 by default of team politics...

To your first point I agree whole heartedly that we'd be looking at getting a QB in the draft because of a better draft slot.

To your second point I truly believe that Winston will win the job and earn the starting spot. Personally, I believe that Taysom has reached his ceiling as a QB but there is still room for growth in his joker role. I'm not a Winston fan but I'm willing to reevaluate him throughout the season.

Help me out XVI, weren't the Saints high on him coming out of the draft from a few years back? He's made a few nice plays while with the Chiefs and has also put Aaron Rodgers on his back a few times .

This could fill a hole left by Rankins.

Hard to remember... I recall them being really into Haason Reddick that year. The beat writers are saying we really liked Kpassagnon- specifically Ryan Nielsen.
