you would think they go looking for a DB first pick, right?


Why? The Saints have the #2 pass defense in the league. I agree that they could use some depth, but not with a 1st round pick. That would have the Saints taking a DB in the first round of 4 of the last 6 drafts.

Since losing Greer the Saints have allowed 216 yards per game which would still be good enough for 7th in the league.

With Strief and De La Puente both being UFA they should look to go OLine.

The list of injuries for our playoff run should tell you why. And its a passing league most Sundays as well. P rob coming back? Greer coming back? White the answer?

Does not matter. What matters is whats on the field and playing well.

Not so sure you would be as cocky with those numbers vs the Mannings,brady's Rodgers etc.

O-line and secondary are to be targeted I would guess.

Well thats a mess

I hear you but yet, the DB's gave up TD's to the Cheatriots and Panthers in the closing seconds. Harper is garbage, Greer is likely done. Jenkins should be gone.

I'm on board for that as well. It just seems that the FO has done a good job of getting that position later in the draft. We're not picking top 10 and have no shot at the studs like Matthews, so BPA might dictate a LB or DB.

ETA: or even a WR
