I don't know if we're the most improved, but it's hard to argue with.
Honestly, how many players do you expect to add from the draft, going in? It's usually 2 or 3, with maybe another guy deep on the roster.
Totally disregarding Peterson and the pre-draft signings:
I say
Lattimore is starting opening day.
Williams and Hendrickson should see the field the first time the Saints line up in a pass defense package.
Kamara should be on the field at some point in the first half.
Ramczyck and Anzalone should rotate onto the field during game one, in their positions (not just special teams).
That's not even being overly optimistic, and saying anyone other than Lattimore wins a starting job in camp (which could happen). Those 6 guys will make the team and contribute, unless someone busts.
SIX new players.
What do we normally see- 2, 3? That's an impressive list.
And then you have the other few- Muhammed might stick, if he can get it together. If he doesn't, no big deal, but if he does, he's another Junior Gallette potential.
And then the UDFA-
Travin Dural jumps out. Timed at 4.66 before the draft, but there's a ton- an absolute TON- of game film that screams "legit 4.3 deep threat". Not one or 2 tantalizing highlights, but numerous examples from every game he played in. You take a chance on that, to see if he's able to get that back. If he plays like his film, he's got to be 3rd rd value, and fits into the Henderson/Cooks spot.

Jerry Rice ran 4.6s out of college and Anquan Boldin ran 4.7s.
I'm not saying he's Rice or Boldin, but 40 times aren't the end-all, be-all of WR success in the NFL.
