Thin at WR

Mcmath is super straight line speed.

We need more than a racey mcmath.

I've brought his name up a couple times, I think he would be a great fit.

We don't really need more than a McMath. We have Mike Thomas, Kamara, Trautman, Taysom Hill (if we're being honest) going out to catch a pass. Those are going to be your primary targets.
You have Jameis Winston at QB, who has a strong arm.

If you add a McMath... that's 6'3 210, with 4.3 speed. Is he great? No. Can he run a deep post and stretch the defense, and make holes for the guys listed above? Absolutely. And with his size, you don't worry about him breaking the first time you do throw to him and there's a safety closing.

And really, in a way he fits better than an elite prospect. Do you think Chase or Waddle would be satisfied being a deep decoy, while Thomas gets 100 catches?
But I bet Racey would, and would be happy to get targeted 1-2 times a game.

I'm not looking at the actual player, I'm looking at the potential role... dude fits almost all the prototype requirements.

I’m hoping we can trade up into the 5th and go get Cade Johnson

So one great wide receiver, one great running back, one unproven tight end, and a gadget player. I don't really think that's a recipe for a ton of success.

We don't have the super accurate short passer anymore. We need some wide receivers

I totally agree that a legit straight line speed guy would be very beneficial at this point.

I think Sean Payton knows how to run an offense; I don't think he cares about "position".
Unproven TE, that's a guy with a whole lot of upside, who did come on late last year.

A gadget player- Taysom was a pretty reliable receiver when targeted, who then becomes a fricking beast loose in the secondary. He's big, fast, and loves contact.

A great RB- Kamara's about as much a gadget player as Taysom is, he just isn't a risk to line up at QB. But he IS a risk to split out wide, and you absolutely don't want to put a linebacker on him. Really would want no less than a nickel.
And in all honesty, you could split Kamara out, leave Taysom at RB, and the play isn't tipped off.

How many times we’ve gone into weeks the past 5 years we have had just enough healthy receivers to play the game?

WR is like the one position the Saints “like” a ton of players but they either can’t catch or stay on the field.

Was it Brandon Coleman that sat around on the roster but couldn’t catch worth a crap? Meredith. Carr. Kirk wood. List goes on and on.
