While I agree with this, we have a lot of holes to fill on our defense


Best way to improve a defense is to get to the QB. In a 3-4, that's the OLB position. The draft is a bit of a toss-up, regardless of when you get to pick - but I'd rather them go for more of the "sure thing" at that spot. Again, yes, we have holes in the defense that I'd like to see repaired. But a strong pass rush is a bad secondary's best friend. I think the Lewis signing was a good investment in the secondary as well.

as well as a few on O


LT: Greatest need imo. I'm hoping we still pick up someone in Free Agency for this hole. Wouldn't mind 3rd or 4th being used for this as well.

WR: They still drafted Toon last year. I still think he was a good pick and will likely work out. But Payton is a genius at finding diamonds in the rough on offense.

Backup QB: Liability not to shore up this position. If Brees goes down it's pretty much a bumpy road for us no matter what.

There is not sure thing in this draft. Mayok has stated that you can take the top 32 players, shuffle them up and you'd have someone's draft board. He thinks this is made up of all equal players, none stellar. I have seen others make similar statements.

This is not a bad secondary




If they draft OLB with the 15 pick, then good. If not, then good too. If they trade back, then great. There is no sure fire guy this year, and that means at 15 it's definitely a jumbled mess. It would be fantastic to get more picks in a draft like this to work the percentages in our favor for hitting on a pick, but that's also why it may be difficult to get a trade partner.
