Chad I just don't understand this view from you dude. It is clear that there is zero physicality in the WR corps. The most physical guy is Colston.... That's pretty bad. There's no one who you can throw it up on the perimeter and expect them to fight for it / win.

(no message)

Not really. All we see in those games they've played in is a death by a bajillion screens. Which is fair - it is the type of play you call when you have no physical receivers. At least on a screen/short pass you are relying on athleticism, which they actually have, rather than physicality, which they don't.

How many times have you seen passes to the sideline to Cooks, Snead, or Coleman (AKA our WRs next year)? almost never. The few rare occasions are when Snead or Cooks just get open down the sideline and Brees drops it in front of them. we don't throw the ball there otherwise because no one can fight for it. They're too weak. Too soft.

I agree we need one OL, 2 DL. We maybe need a LB but we just spent a first and a second on LBs, plus traded for another. Doubt they continue to committ capital to that position unless it's a can't-miss guy.

IMO, our needs in order:

1a. WR
1b. DT/DE
2. OG
3. DT/DE (we just need pressure from somewhere else- so we could USE both a DT and a DE but once we get one, the next slides down behind OG)
4. WLB
