I'd rather go really hard and commit to fixing one group almost entirely than trying to plug holes all over.

To be fair, the only group on D that really needs help is the DL. The LBs are good but young. The secondary is good but hurt. The DL... They're bad.

I think a 2nd offseason under the belts of Kikaha, Anthony, Swann and Breaux will do wonders for the defense. They're bad right now but very banged up - I think they're a few DL pieces from being a solid group for 3-5 years.

Offensively we, as you said, need WR and OL help bad. As many needs as we have, I'm still inclined to think WR is the #1 need. If we can free up 15-20M in cap space (do-able easily with a Brees extension and cutting older guys like Colston) we can probably afford at least a serviceable guard. Take Treadwell and spend our 2nd on a DT.... 3rd on another guard. Would be a very good start.
