When was the last time the Saints went into the draft with this many needs?

Feels like its been awhile. They have almost always filled most of their needs, at least in some capacity, before the draft, letting them go BPA.
This year the cap crunch has left them with 2, at least in my opinion, fairly dire needs at CB and LB. And there are a bunch of other depth needs as well at WR, DL, OL depth, etc.
Just feels like this is the first time in awhile that there are certain positions that they will NEED to fill early.

Not under CSP have we had so many apparent holes before no doubt.
I see the same two glaring holes as everybody else.
But perhaps LB'er is not as dire as we see it. Baun Ellis, Hansen or even Dowell may already be in their plans for the 2nd Lb'er spot.

wasnt for a draft, but when Randy Mueller took over he was signing a new free agent every day for about 2-3 weeks

Thankfully, most of our needs are depth. I know we might get some good value at WR with pick #28, but I hope we stick to our board & draft the best LB/CB available. Either that or trade back.
Who knows...we might have to trade up from #28 to get our CB target.
This is a pretty damn important draft & we already have some decent draft ammo. I'm expecting some of our 2022 draft picks to be dealt in the upcoming draft. Not the 1st rounder, but nothing else would surprise me. We'll have a 2nd, 2 3rds, & 2 4ths...you know it's coming.
My opinion on draft importance for all positions
Dire Needs
CB, LB
High Needs
WR
DT/DE
OT/OG
Medium Needs
QB, RB
Low Needs
S, TE
No Needs
FB, OC, LS, K, P

I don’t think we have a ton more needs than normal years. I think it’s the sense of unknowing at the quarterback position and salary cap issues that lead us to worry more about other positions.
CB is an absolute need. LBer has bodies, we just aren’t sure about starters. DT is a question because we lost a mainstay, but we have bodies there too.
