What are the positions of need that we would go after in the draft and still in free agency?

If the Saints get a deep threat WR, OL help, and a decent corner they'll be among the Super Bowl favorites.

Seeing that J. Morgan is probably gone; 2 WR's, RT, C, DB, K

We need a #2 cornerback, 2 WR's, Center, depth at OG, depth at OT, depth at OLB

QB - Fine
RB - Fine
WR - Nothing after Colston & Stills. We need 2 WR's badly
TE - Fine
OT - Should be fine if we can sign Strief. Could use more depth
OG - The starters are fine, but we need to add depth
C - I can't stand DLP. Some people like him though. I'd draft a center personally.
DE - Fine
DT - Fine
OLB - Galette, Haralson, and Victor Butler. We could use 1 more legit OLB
ILB - Seem to be fine. Maybe 1 more ILB for depth
CB - We need a #2 corner to go with Lewis. Robinson & White are great backups/nickels
S - More than fine
P - Fine
K - Shayne Graham seems like a good short term answer. I'll be pissed if we draft a kicker.

Biggest needs right now are at RT, C, and WR. As long as Streif's market stays cold, I think he'll be back. dlP I'm not sure of. However, both of these guys could be upgraded on, especially de la Puente who really struggled for much of the season.
Two prospects I have been watching closely during the draft process are Zack Martin and Marcus Martin. Zack is an OT who could be a solid LT, great RT, or All-Pro guard. Marcus Martin is regarded by some as the best C in the class. He's big and athletic with long arms, but he needs to learn how to use his strength better.
The team needs to get serious about protecting Drew now and also figure out what to do with the guard situation. Evans and Grubbs both have cap numbers over $10mil next year and, despite making the Pro Bowl this year, they have not been worth $10mil a year.
The thinking is that either of these guys would be able to step in at guard if/when the Saints think it's time to move on without having to overspend again at the position and still keep Drew upright.
