Remaining concerns on both sides of the ball.

Offense: run blocking. We weren't good running the ball last year and this is the same cast of players. We didn't get to see the starting line much this pre-season but it seemed like we were only getting 2 ypc consistently.
Defense: d-line. I like our depth but we lack star power. Breese and Turner have the greatest potential to bring something special to the unit, but one is a rookie and the other has barely played. I don't think this will be a bad unit at all, but I can see them getting stonewalled against some of the better o-lines in the league.

We operate in perpetual salary cap hell..
There has to be a position grouping where you can't afford "star power" and you hope that a decent enough rotation of above average players will work

I'm concerned with Oline depth more than I am Dline. Honestly, we have a pretty strong roster if healthy. Not saying we deep at DT either though but I feel good about our players there. Fully healthy we have a solid Oline, if Penning pans out we have a good Oline.

the saints are hardly ever able to pressure QBs so for that reason we have to have top tier pass coverage because of the time they have to throw.
thats what killed us most years, the 3rd and long with no pass rush and we couldnt get off the field many times.
graham isnt finishing the year, he will do well, but he is old, so he will get hurt, and not do much after that, then he will retire after the season as a saint

I'm not too high on our defense, as a whole. Every position group is thin. I think it could be a gritty unit if everyone plays to their potential but it definitely won't be great, especially if a few injuries happen.
Our offense should cook. Offensive line, especially depth, is an obvious concern but Derek Carr is a far better QB than what we've trotted out there the last few seasons. And, Carr has plenty of weapons.
We should win our division.
