What do you think are a must-get for the Saints before the season starts?

WR for me.

It's Thomas and Snead and that's it. Sure, Brees has made chicken salad out of chicken shite in previous seasons with unknowns at WR, but this year it's a glaring weakness outside of Thomas. Fleener didn't look good last year, either.

Need a to sign another this offseason since we are an injury away from having Brandon Coleman/Willie Snead as our top guy.

We already signed Ginn Jr. Why did you leave him off?

They need a more reliable receiver than Coleman. But that's kind of luxury more than need.

They have 3 wr, 2 te, 2 rb who can catch consistently.

Offense is set. It's defense that needs work

This is Ginn's 11th year? He's more in the Henderson/Meachem role and he's getting old.

We need another intermediate threat, especially with Drew getting older.

If someone like Decker became available, sign him.

We have depth on defense. Its WR we need depth. If MT goes down, who is going to step up?

Easily wr.

Our defensive depth aren't great players but they're all about the same. You're also not going to get significant upgrades at this point in the offseason. After our top 2 WRs we have a huge drop off to the point where we'd struggle to consistently move the ball against decent defenses. I also think we could find a vet at some point for reasonably cheap that could provide depth. If we're hobbled on offense this season could get ugly.

Hot take bro. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the glitchy full site version being run on my iPhone, and just my remedial post grad and doctoral education coming back to bite me in the arse again. Have a nice day fricktard.

After this draft I would say they must get additional medical personnel

I wouldn't mind another WR vet for depth , but at the same time how often do those guys work out? I hope someone like TommyLee or Dural show something to step up as that 4/5 option with more hunger than an older guy collecting a check.

I also think Kamara makes absolutely needing another guy not as important. I'd imagine our top 4 pass catchers will be Thomas, Snead, Fleener, Kamara, Ginn maybe even Ingram.

pass rushers, maybe teams who drafted pass rushers will be cutting some older vets loose that can still play.

we have done nothing to make me think we improved on the number of sacks the defense will get this year. we need to disrupt opposing QB or its going to be another 7-9 season

What difference will that make? I never heard of anyone preventing a football injury before.

Jacksonville lost Dante Fowler and Jaylen Ramsey back to back. Do they need additional medical personnel also?

Clowney was lost for the season in game 1 of his rookie year.

You expecting our entire draft class to be on IR before the season starts? Should we have drafted LSU players and that would guarantee they wouldnt get injured?

That "old man" had 739 yards and 10 tds followed by 752 yards and 4 tds with Newton throwing to him.

Even if he only gets around 600 yards here that's more than enough with all the other pieces we have to throw too.

Then you dont know shite about football. The Patriots wont the SB generating only 4 more sacks than we did. Its about the secondary in todays game.

Carolina and Arizona had 47 and 48. Alot of good it did them.
