Saints' needs.

IMO these are the three main areas that need to be addressed in the draft or free agency, in order of priority:
1. Safety - Roman Harper is a pretty good run stopper however is coverage skills are lacking. We need to upgrade that position with young hard hitting cover guy. I know that combination doesn't come around often but there's got to be a kid in the first round with those skills.
2. D-line. I don't care if it's DT or DE, we just need some new blood in the rotation to contribute and help keep the other guys fresh.
3. OL - We need to shore up the RT position. The RT position was way too inconsistent this year.

I agree. Maybe a corner too but we're deeper at corner than safety or DL

Uh no.
1. Pass Rusher
2. OLB
3. OL and Safety I would put both 3rd

We need our second round pick back

Pass rusher is without a doubt the saints #1 need. It isn't even debatable.

1) DE/OLB - We need someone who can create a pass rush. Will Smith and the OLB positions need to be upgraded. Good news: Lots of DE options in FA & the Draft. Bad News: Not a ton of OLB options In FA or the Draft.
2) Offensive Tackle - Strief/Bushrod can be upgraded as well. Brown did ok, but he was injured a lot and a stalwart LT would be nice.
3) Safety - Harper isn't as bad as people say. But he's getting older and expensive. I'd really like to sign Moore as a FA.
4) DT - Ellis is gone, and good riddance! I like Hicks and Bunkley, but I don't think Bunkley is the long term option. Especially if we can get someone good to go along with Hicks.
5) Kicker - Don't cry emo kicker.
6) CB - Greer, PRob, Mack & White have talent, but Greer is getting older and a future replacement would be nice to have.
7) WR/TE - Not a need, but I'm sure a compliment to Graham or a younger Moore/Henderson would be nice to have to groom. (I consider Toon the grooming version of Colston)
8) QB - Not a need either, but a QB of the future would be nice. Although I think we can wait another year or two.

everything except a punter

I agree with pretty much everything you say. First, we need a good solid safety. We then need help on the DL, mostly a big bodied DT who will stack the middle. Ellis certainly could never do that. Cam Jordan will be great, but we need another pass rusher. We may need OL help, mainly at RT, and maybe LT if we can't sign Bushrod to a deal. After that, maybe another good CB for more depth. Don't need much else after that.

1. Our HC back

1. Defensive Line - Either RDE or DT, but we need guys who push the pocket. You could have the best secondary in the world, but it won't mean a thing if you can't pressure the QB.
2. Offensive Line - Bushrod is serviceable, but De La Puente and Strief really bombed. I'd love to add Alabama's Barrett Jones right here.
