We have a number of needs before ILB, but I would like to see us get more athletic at that position. Hawthorne and Lofton aren't going anywhere this year, as it would cost us to cut them

^^ This right here ^^

also, you can't rely on the Saints to pick a LB in the 1st round.

I think Mark Fields was the last LB that the Saints drafted in the 1st round and that was in 1995.

almost a solid 20 years since we've gone that route
