Wide receiver should be our priority. We need at least two new playmakers

They'll attempt to address all "must" needs in FA so they can trade all draft assets for Lord Burrow.

Easton proved he's an average guard and that's good enough to not be desperate in free agency.

Wide receiver is an astronomically bigger hole, would shock me if they didn't sign a free agent

Disagree. Peat had another mixed year with seemingly more bad than good. Offensive linemen should always be a priority. Any scrub can sling it around to wide open receivers with enough time.

Peat is a free agent and not really worth resigning unless it’s league minimum type money.

Ginn is here and while not very good, we have Thomas, Cook and Kamara as our main targets. Smith is also an option as well.

It doesn’t matter who is at WR is Brees doesn’t have time to throw or gets hurt because our RG sucks. We need a Peat replacement more. Look at Cleveland. Doesn’t matter what big names you have if you have no OL to protect your QB.

Definitely need to bring in a young QB so he can learn under brees and be ready when he retires

FA for O-line and WR

and have a good draft

people have been saying this shite after every season for at least the last 5 years. unless we know for certain Brees is retiring, which he likey isnt, we arent wasting a draft pick on a QB. this shite is foolish.

QB that can push the ball down field more that 30 yards?

Tough one with our current roster. I think Easton is average, but is better than Peat. However Peat gave you flexibility at LT as well and Armstead is not reliably healthy.

We do need another talented wideout and probably a slot as well. So yea WR needs an upgrade too.

I think a good OG is harder to find. There is less of a pool of players. We have a history of finding WRs (although not lately). We have to have a OG at least on the same level as Warford that can give you OT minutes if needed. So I would say individually, replacing Peat over Ginn is more of a challenge.

That's just it though. Outside of MT, no other receivers are getting open.

Peat for me... Line couldn't keep Brees upright when it mattered. Could've had ten Michael Thomas's out there and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Address guard in the top 3 rounds if you have to trade back in do so. But WR must come first.

Ginn: We have struggled for 2 full seasons now in finding a WR playmaker opposite Thomas. Easton is already Peat's backup, but you still look to get another OL fairly early
