Aging Cam, AK, and DD, uncertainty on Latt & Ram coupled with the atrocious drafting since 2017 and it’s not hard to project the Saints in the bottom 20s.
The negative developments can be balanced by continued development of young players who began to emerge this past season. Movement of teams up and down is fluid every season. There are 6 to 8 top level teams every year and the same number at the bottom. The middle 20 teams are very close and factors like schedule, injuries, development of young players and regression of veterans can impact the ultimate finish. The young Saints receivers are on the verge of being one of the elite groups and the young defensive backs will continue to emerge. If they can fix the lines on both sides of the ball through free agency and possibly add Brock Bowers to the tight end room this team can be in the upper half of the league. The Carr of the second half of the season needs to pick up where he left and continue to mesh with the team.

Which young guys emerged last year at levels/positions to replace Latt/Ram/Cam?
Baun? He's a FA and we're not likely to re-sign him.
Everyone is banging the drum to pick an impact edge or OT at 14, so clearly there are issues.

Our WRs don't have a WR1 to do that. Olave did not take a step forward in year 2 and may have regressed. You think Perry can emerge as a WR1 next year? I do like Shaheed a lot, but his absolute ceiling seems like a WR2.

Finding starters in FA for playoff-quality teams in FA is easy, especially when you don't have cap to spend
We may have problems trying to re-sign Peat
