re: I hate to say it, but unless we knock it out the park this draft, it’s back to irrelevance

It’s no doubt the Saints will sign a Vet. at corner, linebacker, and dt before the draft. They might even get a wideout. They almost always go into the draft trying not to have a glaring hole at a position.
They might not find a Malcom Brown, Jack Rabbit, or Kwon, but experienced Vet. Then we restock the the team with future stars with reasonable contracts. This team will remain in the hunt for the foreseeable future as long as Sean and Mickey are at the helm.

I hate to say it because Brees has done a lot for the city and did win it all for us. But I think our Super Bowl runs the last 3 years have been hampered by his limited abilities. Our best chance b4 he started to slide was the no call, that really sucked.

We are now in the process of building another championship team with younger players. We have kept almost our entire offense intact except Sanders, Eason, and the fumbler.
We have a chance to have a much better offense that’s much more explosive, we just need to get a few defensive starters.
