3 year rebuild. Something that should have been done long ago. We may challenge for our weak division but not a deep playoff run. We do need defensive help but the salary cap will be a little better next year
.let's give Kellen a chance to build this.

Go watch some film, he's impressive, I just worry about his size as a blocker at the next level. I didn't like the pick at first but I can see why they want him. He's a freak athlete.


That’s the point, he’s athletic enough that he will be able to bulk some and add strength without losing what makes him different.

I have no doubt Delp is a solid player, I trust Kellen’s talent evaluation. We still need a C/G player on the OL as well as corner. I would love another WR too maybe on day 3.


I agree with you, ESPECIALLY with C/G. Can’t count on McCoy to stay healthy…..and I would like to send Ruiz out of here on a rail.

And as I am answering you….the fricking Bears took Zavion Thomas. fricking can’t stand them

There were numerous draft guys that had Zion Young as the best prospect on the board when we drafted…

We went 6-11 with the 9th best D in the league. WE NEED OFFENSE.

That was last year. There’s no Demario Davis leading that defense. This is a rebuilding unit that has plenty of talent but needs more in the back end.

It's not numerous draft guys' bpa. It's Saints' bpa.

No Demario and no Taylor. Possibly no Cam.

He might be a good player but we have bigger needs in defense.


We still have a few more years to go in this roster turnover. It’s not going to be solved this offseason. This is what a rebuild looks like.

One of those 3 have been replaced (how effectively can be debated after the season), and another may still be back.

Yes those are our 2 biggest remaining needs, but you don't go need just for need sake in the draft.

I love Demario as well, but Ellis is an excellent LB……as well as a really solid pass rusher. He’s also an excellent leader. It’s hard to replace Demario, but it looks like they have a plan. I would feel more comfortable if a pass rusher would fall to us though

Taylor isn't really a loss.

Teams need a bad arse nickel or a real travel corner.

I keep telling y'all teams move their best into the slot more and more.

i agree... i'd love to see us somehow package our 2 picks in the 4th to go up and grab Keionte Scott... dude is a natural replacement for Alontae Taylor in the nickel back position
