re: Kawaan Baker could be a draft-day steal

Not addressing the #2 receiver position early in the draft was a major mistake. The Saints have been making do with that position for years now and it is just not good enough.

People think you have to have 5 all pro WRs to have a good passing game. Brees’ best season was 2011 and his leading receivers were Jimmy Graham, Sproles, Colston, Lance Moore, P. Thomas, Meachem, Devery and Ingram in that order. Our Super Bowl year, our leading pass catchers were Colston, Devery, Shockey, Reggie Bush, Meachem, P. Thomas, David Thomas, Lance Moore and Heath Adams, in that order.

We currently have MT13, Callaway, Harris, T. Smith, Kamara, Trautman and Lil’Jordan. We had other needs greater than WR and don’t have money to make a big FA signing. Could we do better at WR? Yes, but we aren’t exactly bad at that position like people keep saying. Would you rather have big name WRs like atlanta with a bad record and no OL, DL, etc.?
