But is does matter what we do in FA to address the front seven doesn't it? Kind of impacts what the FO does in the draft. Getting a FA DE and a FA OLB that can rush the QB makes bitching about a CB in first round seem silly.

Very true. We should be able to identify our draft needs very easily after free agency. Personally, I hope we don't add a DE in F.A., b/c the first half of the 1st round is LOADED at DE.

Using cbssportsline as a reference:

DE - tier 1
#1 - Myles Garrett
#2 - Jonathan Allen
#3 - Solomon Thomas
#11 - Derek Barnett
tier 2
#27 - Taco Charlton
#29 - Charles Harris
#36 - Carl Lawson
#43 - DeMarcus Walker

LB - tier 1
#10 - Reuben Foster
tier 2
#23 - Zach Cunningham
#26 - Takkarist McKinley
#40 - Raekwon McMillan
#58 - Jarrad Davis

CB - tier 1
#7 - Teez Tabor
#15 - Marlon Humphrey
#19 - Marshon Lattimore
#22 - Sidney Jones
tier 2
#28 - Cordrea Tankersley
#32 - Gareon Conley
#41 - Tre White
#47 - Cameron Sutton
#48 - Quincy Wilson
#51 - Adoree Jackson

Not to high jack, but 4 1st round running backs. When's the last time 4 where taken in the 1st? That's an awful lot for this day and age. I honestly thought those days were over.

ETA-Barnett/Foster in the 1st and Adoree/White in the 2nd

Daniel Jeremiah does not know shite about the Saints. On his podcast, he said "Saints finished 6 & 10 last season." Sean Payton has never gone 6 & 10. For someone who is suppose to know the NFL you should know the teams you talk about. Especially their RECORDS!
