Super Bowl: What will it take? (long read warning)

I've been asking what will have to happen for a return. I see this as a major potential turnaround year. 2005 to the 2006 NFC Championship was a dramatic turnaround. Three straight 7-9s may require a similar jump start. Brees was the lynchpin but next most important might have been that draft class.
Review-
Bush- not all world but not a bust, was a vital component in the rise to the SB
Harper- he had limitations but was a solid box safety for ten years
Evans- one of the greatest draft picks in Saints history, potential HOFer
Ninkovich- he didn't do it here but was still a premium 5th Rd pick
Hass and Lay were nothing 6th Rders
Strief- it took years for peeps to appreciate a right tackle but a 7th Rder still starting 11 years later is a big win
Colston- similar to Evans but getting your alltime leading receiver in the 7th Rd cannot be appreciated enough.

Now what for this year? We do need a solid performance out of a free agent or two. I'd nominate Klein as becoming a leader and playmaker in solidifying the D on a whole. Okafor would be next. Here's hoping he will be hard to re-sign because of how strong he busts out.

More than free agents, I see this draft class as similarly pivotal as the '06 class. What needs to happen for a SB rerturn?

Lattimore- doesn't need to be all world shutdown but just a solid player you can pencil in at the position for a decade.

Ramcheck- for me his performance until Armstead returns will be one of the very most important keys for the season starting off strong. Best case scenario, he proves to be NFL stud-ready and make the need for Armstead even questioned.

Williams- he has shown some flashes, a defensive playmaker stepping up will be vital. He was considered washed up and only had a year left but Sharper provided that kind of spark.

Kamara- I've been high on him from the get go. I believe he will supply more than just the Bush-Sproles satellite role. After Peterson and Ingram depart I see him with more carries, sumpin like DeVonta Freeman.

Anzalone- The bottom of this draft class is where I see big bang potential in the vein of Colston or Strief. A 3rd Rder that starts game 1? I'm reminded of more potential than proven product 3rd Rder Jimmy Graham. Dream big whodats, this guy looks like a legit NFL LBer.

Hendrickson- I haven't seen as much flash from him but it would be my Saints dream to have more effective pass rushing options than we know what to do with.

Muhammed- This guy turning into the Colston of Saints DEs would be another dream. I see real potential with him versus some past risk picks (Pressley, Romeus).

Not all those have to happen but some at least. What I am most excited about is that these rookies are not only getting the reps but they are looking up to the task. Now let's see if the preseason magic is real!
