Well... I guess thats a pretty strong sign about Styles

Styles and Ellis would be an incredible pairing as Ellis can do a lot of edge work and Styles can play as a 3rd safety. Would provide an incredible amount of versatility and permit us to run those 2 and Stuntsman our basically every play. I wouldn't rule out Styles if he's there at 8

Yeah I don’t think it rules out Styles either. The Saints goal will continue to be to fill holes and just get the highest level player in the first.

I know pickings are slim but I can’t imagine a world where they don’t sign a vet WR, a DB, and a pass rusher.

There are still plenty guys out there including some possible bargains.

It may likely end up being a bargain basement pass rusher this year unless for some reason we decided to insanely bring back Hendrickson.

We have our 2 starters and only need a rotational guy to add to them, and even the sub 10 sack guys are getting $30 mil this year.

I do think we definitely address CB, and very likely WR unless they truly are as confident as they act about who we have. I think that's a bit of fluff but you never know what a team really thinks.

Sure but he’s still a forgotten roster spot

I know this should be in the "draft a WR" thread, but if Styles is gone I imagine our shot at Love is alive and I'd draft Love to play him a lot at WR and as backup RB over drafting Tate at 8. Like the Bijan stuff they've done the past couple of years in ATL

For very good reasons.

CB is a high level need that no one seems to be talking about

We obviously can't go into the year with just Kool Aid and Riley

Literally the highest need, as everywhere else we have at least a starter level player except at nickel, or outside if Kool-Aid or Riley kicks in.

He started last year, played like complete trash, and was benched as a starter after 1 1/2 games, and benched as a backup after 4.

Whatever he was when he left was not what he is now. He is done.
