My take on the Saints team and draft thus far

Our front 4 seems like it could be pretty good with Jordan, Kikaha, Fairley, and Rankins. However, solid depth in the interior d-line could be an issue.

I feel like we need one more good linebacker so Kikaha can play defensive end and not have to drop into coverage. Anthony has all of the tools to develop into a star. Ellerbe is solid when healthy. I feel like we're still missing a piece here.

Our secondary is showing some promise. Keenan Lewis and Delvin Breaux can be shut down corners. Vonn Bell, Vaccaro, and Byrd should do well as safeties especially if Byrd can stay healthy. I am worried about our depth at corner, for sure, because the talent drops off tremendously after Breaux and Lewis.

I am liking the direction this defense is trending in. If they can stay healthy and pick up or develop some depth at linebacker, corner, and interior d-line, this defense can go from zero to hero in no time.

Though I don't expect them to be, I would not be shocked if this Saints defense ended up ranked in the top half of the league by the end of next year.

On to the offense. On the line, we need a guard. The rest of the line should be solid even if a little thin. Grabbing a solid guard in free agency or in the fifth round (Vadal, please, please, please) and this unit will be back to dominant.

QB is obviously solid. I think we have a capable backup and a good developmental prospect.

TE isn't flashy, but I think our group actually has a ton of potential. There's no Jimmy Graham's in this group, but there's really not many TE's in history that can compete with Jimmy.

Our WR corp going into this draft was the least talented in the league, and it showed last year as they struggled to get separation against even decent cover corners. I like our draft pick in Michael Thomas, I like Cooks, Snead has shown flashes of brilliance. We are quietly developing a decent corp here.

Our RB's have been frustrating, but no one will debate that they are talented. Hopefully, Peyton figures out how to use CJ Spiller and he can stay healthy. Cadet is a monster on screen passes, and Ingram is a solid HB.

We only have one FB on the roster and we never use him, so...

Offense is looking solid. They should be a top 10 offense again this year.
