Defense has already been improved just by the last couple of days.


Is AJ Klein, Manti T'eo, and Alex Okafor improvement?

Now, hopefully, we can, by upgrading the offensive line


Is it an upgrade if he doesn't even start?

Defense- have to like Fairley and Rankins together inside vs the run. Lattimore should start opening day at corner.


Lack talent at LB, S, CB, DE

There's plenty of edge rushers left.


Sure but are they good? Could've got a starter at 32 instead of a bench rider.

Zero guarantee that any player drafted will be a starter.

How much of a dropoff in talent do you think exists between a player chosen at 32 versus a player chosen at 42?

we drafted a Cb genius. You wanted another one? We drafted safety in second round last year and vaccaro has decent year. We improved LB in free agency regardless of what you say. And kikakha poss healthy.

who? Who wasnt a reach at 32? The first rounders were off the board. It was obvious. 10 picks later we will have same quality of edge rusher not to mention how do you know he will be starter who ever it may be

why do you act like we have no more picks in the draft? Narrow minded as I have ever seen

Who? People act like the Saints should have drafted a DE just to fill the spot. Payton said the DE that were left on the board had second round grades.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a stud pass rushing DE too, but you draft a player just to say "look he fills a need." Ramcyk is a stud at OT. Streif is 34. Streif becomes a great backup swing tackle and we jump up to one of the best lines in the league. People take about how envious they are of the Cowboys oline. The put resources into their line. We are too. We have some serious talent at all five line positions.
