Was thinking today that next years draft will really set the stage to go from our rebuild to contending for a Super Bowl.

I genuinely think we have everything on offense needed to compete for a Super Bowl if Shough is who we think he is.

I think our first 2 picks would need to be DE and DB. Feel like 2 impact players there could really elevate us.

Mid round probably draft Kamara and Reid’s replacements.. and OL/DT depth never hurts

I also think going after the top kicker in the draft will be important to get a weapon there and not a liability which it seems we have now

Sign Moro Ojomo to go alongside millet and Broughton.
Then target DE, LB, DB. Hopefully Kool aid and Quincy can make a leap to make that less of a need

I think part of it may depend on whether or not Staley comes back and who his potential replacement would be and what system he runs.

We probably need another WR.

Kind of agree that it almost doesn’t matter what position… we need an all pro type playmaker

Young up and coming coordinators are the in thing right now. If the D keeps performing over pay him in an extension as we have our OC in the head coach.

I’m sure Mickey can find someone with a history of injuries at DL or WR

I've seen or heard nothing that makes me thing he would leave for a HC job next season or that the Saints would have to overpay him to keep him here.

He genuinely seem to enjoy being DC for Kellen Moore Kellen. I'd be willing to bet (for the sake of this question) he's stull the DC in New Orleans in 2027/28.

I would avoid the " Oh shite didn't see that coming" scenario. Ask Philly about their shite offense last year and maybe this year.

Wide receiver can’t count on this years pick and hopefully doesn’t come come with injury history.
