Offense - Tackle (UGH! I hate drafting tackles in the first round)


Defense - Cornerback


Offense - I think we have arguably the best trio of WRs in the league. As a group that is.

Defense - The d-line has been a nice surprise.

In a nutshell, O-Line, DBs

Wrong. Pass rusher specialist. You could add the best corner in the league to this team. Without a pass rush it doesn't mean much.

And with Jordan, Rankins, and Fairley, if we add a pass rush specialist on the other side we'll eat quarterback for lunch.

we need a right guard just as much as a tackle I think.

definitely a corner.. I think we've learned now that you can't ever have enough of them.

A LB would be nice.. the need might not be as dire as before cause the D-line has played better and kept them cleaner this year. Our run D has improved a lot I think over the last few weeks (could be matchup related) but I'll take it even still. We need a better coverage LB that has better range and can drop into coverage quicker/ get better depth.

Fairley has been a nice add minus a few bone head penalties. Rankins is gonna be a stud I think, Cam Jordan is a solid all-around player. But we could use another pass rusher. Kruger ain't nothing special.

We need a right guard in a bad way. Evans isnt going to hold up much longer there.

Defense I think we can always use pass rushers. Corners we need if nothing else but for depth.

That dude on defense everybody is scared of. Could be Allen in the draft, Collins in free agency or a trade. I just want a player either on offense or defense thar has to be agressively game planned against other than Brees. Heck. If Fournette is there at our pick and Allen is gone I'd be fine with him.

If the saints use their first on a RB with some of the other glaring needs on this team, the fans should riot

We honestly have depth for the most part, what this roster needs is a superstar. I'm talking about a JJ Watt, Von Miller, Khalil Mack or Luke Kuechly, we need someone who DEMANDS attention on the defensive side of the ball that can let the other ten guys go to work.

I'm usually the last guy to call for trading up, but if we're already picking top ten, I'd do whatever it took to land DE Myles Garrett from Texas A&M. I'm so sick of teams running up and down on us, I want an arse kicker on defense who will make QB's fear us again.

First pick. Player with best future at either O-line
Or DE.


2nd pick reflects pick in 1st round
DE or O-line

3rd pick. Best Db or lb


4, 5, 6, 7
Linemen and dbs and lbs

Trade breesus.
Get herschel/williams draft from team with deep playoff hope but no top qb.

You trade an expensive player for filling every need but qb.
Hes only got a couple years left. You have a used mercedes. Get a new ford focus, a new f-x50 pickup truck, a small boat and a travel trailer and an OG with two years left.

Garrett is pretty bad against the run. I would rather Allen or Williams from Bama.

I love the saints as much as the next die hard but this is a little much. Two of the other three teams in our dev have a better group.

In a perfect world, we could use 2 O linemen, 2 RBs, 1 DE, 1 LB, and 1 CB imo.

We are old at the running back position, and mediocre outside of Ingram. I'd personally love to move on from Cadet. Dream scenario for me would be signing Woodhead and drafting someone in the mid rounds. Great value to be had there, recently, Jordan Howard, David Johnson, Devontae Booker.

Would like to spend our cap space on the defensive players, in particular CB, where we've had success in free agency and not in draft. Drafting CBs is a crapshoot.

It would be nice to have a do-it-all LB, that can lead the team and other teams have to game plan for as mentioned. Tried and failed with Steph. Craig has been solid, but I think it would be foolish to assume he will be that guy. We're thin and injury prone past him.

Would be intrigued to go OL first two picks or two out of first 3. Dallas has shown the blueprint. We could do it better with a nasty O line and the pieces we have in place.

The pass rush has been better recently. Hopefully Kikaha can come back and contribute. I think we'll be out of elite pass-rusher range when we make our first pick and they're so expensive in free agency so we'll see.
