I want Suh, but can’t help but wonder if we would be better off as a team with that next tier of DT, save a few million and use that on a WR

Suh and Bennie Logan are multiple tiers apart. Logan is a run stuffing 2 down lineman who played poorly in a one gap scheme in PHI. I don't see him as a target or alternative to Suh.

Suh is dominant, Logan is solid. Suh is the type of player that makes your entire defense better. I'd rather that than a solid player and another who probably is just going to be average on your team. Brees can't throw past the line of scrimmage hardly these days anyway. If he throws a 30-40 yard pass he has to throw it like a javelin.

Probably why Saints don't seem to be targeting too many WRs. Checkdown Brees has all he needs in K and Ingram. If anything, they probably want more TEs for the shorter passes. I think they want more west coast type offense with maybe taking that 1-2 shots deep a game then executing.

which WR? The bit money ones are gone, and we wouldn't be overpaying for them anyway. For Suh we would be restructuring contracts (I believe) to make happen.

I'm fully on the fence with signing Suh. I love his talent but am concerned he's a me first player. Hearing his dolphins teammates deny this image of him has changed my mind some. My main concern is the money at this point, but I do have some reservations about his attitude as well (regarding his being selfish or not... I love the mean streak)

You just have to look at it objectively. Is Logan that much better than Onyemata or Davidson? I don't think he is

tbh, i'd roll with what we have... add Nathan Shepherd in the draft, and i'd feel real confident with those interior lineman on the DL....

only thing is Davison is a FA next year, so drafting a guy this year would go a long way in terms of hedging for his loss...
