Time to Look Towards the Future...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of getting frustrated with this weekend's loss. Some people have mentioned it in passing, and they're 100% right - with no RBs, there is no WAY we would have beaten the Bears, who give up the 2nd fewest yards per rush attempt in the NFL... allow the 3rd lowest opponent's QB rating in the NFL... not to mention play in a possible Chicago snowstorm. It's time to look towards next season; if we make a few key upgrades, we'll be legitimate Superbowl contenders again. I don't know what you guys think, but I think DT and OLB are our biggest needs, followed behind by DE, OT, and RB. Hey Drake Nevis, feel like sticking around Baton Rouge/New Orleans for a while longer?

...? Just wanted to see what everyone thinks the Saints' biggest needs are. I think it's definitely DT and OLB, but I know some people will argue RB...

as well as a DE that can get to the QB

RB

I agree, I had DE and OT listed as secondary needs behind DT and OLB

Agreed to an extent, but we've now seen what happens if one of them goes down. I think we need to add to that core unless we expect Ivory to absolutely break out next season.

Agree that DT is a huge need; can't see Nevis though. He will have the same limitations as Dorsey and Ellis due to a lack of size. Fairley would do nicely.

He would but he'll go in the top 5.

I agree.

THE LAST THING WE NEED is an undersized DT who will be much more likely to be a 3-4 defensive end at the next level.
I maintain that our biggest need BY FAR is fast pass rushing DE. And other speed off the edge both two the qb and in intermediate coverage.

We need safety help, with Malcom Jenkins hurt, we are exposed
