People are forgetting that once free agent signings no longer effect comp picks, depth signing will happen at most postions...

ALWAYS draft Best Player Available!

We seem to do well with UDFA right after the draft.

With 2 picks in the top 40 we may have a chance to pick the top rated safety, linebacker, guard and with our draft history...kicker LOL

The offensive line really wasn’t as good as it needed to be, last season

Dl and linebacker, losing Ellis sucks
TE needs guy who can catch and block
OL need a legit combo guard/tackle
Wr need a guy w size to open up the
middle.

Saints Needs Ranked?


1. Players who don't get hurt and sit out season after season while also eating 10% of the cap.

2. Players who don't do stupid stuff during off season which gets them suspended multiple games.

3. Players who don't use social media to share political opinions and start shite.

4. Coaches who don't call stupid arse plays which make me throw shite at the walls of my house

5. Refs who have 20/20 eyesight and respect the rules of football over what the TV/Fanduel market wants to see happen.

Sorry, but no. Positional value cannot be ignored. A DE, CB, OT, or QB on a rookie deal is much more valuable than a RB or LB. A 1st round RB would be one of the highest paid in the league at his position, a 1st round DE would be one of the lowest paid. That matters from a team-building and cap standpoint.

Needs can't be ignored either. Sure, the Saints shouldn't reach but if you've got CB Kelee Ringo rated just above DT Brian Bresee and they're both available - take the friggin tackle. Draft evaluations are not an exact science anyway.

So you would draft a backup LB ahead of a starting DT or DE?

1) DT, a stout run defender or legitimate pass rush from the middle could really open up this defense
2) DE, legit pass rusher is again what this defense is missing outside of Cam Jordan. Can Payton Turner make the jump, or Granderson? Kpassagnon is rotational only at this point. Would still like to see us sign Clowney after draft even though his sack production is not there he is still good enough against the run and should be fairly cheap
3) OG, Peat will be hurt at least 4 games, plus thinking about replacing him permanently down the line
4) MLB. Davis only has so many good years left. And nothing stands out too much from a depth standpoint, lots of unknowns as it was with Ellis last season so maybe we have another diamond in the rough.
5) S, Mathieu/Maye or aging some.
