With the new influx of talent. Which position does everyone think will be weakest this upcoming season?

I would have to say our Defensive Backs are very unproven and would be our weakest link.

or running back...

i still am not comfortable with that situation but would love to be proven wrong. it seems the saints are putting a lot of faith in two rebuilt knees.

Considering the starters and the depth of each position... Safety is the weakest.

Agree. At least there is some competitive depth at CB, with one legit starter (McKenzie), veterans who know the system (Craft, David, who supposedly is doing better -- at least in camp), and young talent (Porter, Gay, Young).

Outside of Harper, our overall safety position has been a glaring weak spot for years now and has replaced LBs as the biggest need.

I agree. I was grouping FS and SS together as one position(safety). But yea, this is Harper's breakout year.

1) FS
2) RT
3) LG
4) WLB

Don't know what's up with KK. Bullocks is terrible. Stinky, Nesbit, and Shanle aren't THAT bad, they just below average with some terrible games here and there.

I've never been impressed with "Stinkcomb" at right tackle.They we can upgrade there.

Again, why no love for Glenn. He's better than 75% of the players you've listed.

FS is kind of a ? but will hopefully be helped by the additions at DT and LB. RT is a huge concern as that is D. Brees' blindside.

Want to rethink that?



ETA: RT is Brunell's blindside...

Myself and Madden's 09 rankings agree with this.
