You’re right. I don’t know why they traded him. He’s always been very efficient. Last night he looked like Houdini, the way he avoided being sacked and completing the passes downfield under duress. Very impressive! And now for his reward: A date with the Goat!

Agreed. The Saints simply had too many injuries to overcome. They need to be at full strength and win home field advantage throughout the playoffs, just like in 09’. And just like then, they will advance to the Super Bowl. That’s the winning formula folks! I too, am excited to see our offseason moves!

O-line is solid, but definitely needs depth at Center, LT, and Guard. Strief will hopefully back up Ram, solving that problem. Defense is above average, If Healthy! Depth is needed at all positions, as this unit incurres the majority of injuries each year. All of these things are doable in this offseason.

Because only 3 on your list were actually on the field for the playoffs, and Mauti and Teo aren’t really starters. A stud LB can transform a defense! Just ask the Giants how they felt about Lawrence Taylor? I know we need another receiver, but a good TE can cover that need for us as well.

He compares favorably to Mingo and will probably go in the first rd. Just not to the Saints. SP and Co. are absolutely sold on players from Ohio State, and given their success during Payton’s tenure, keep em coming. I don’t see them taking Key, but someone will. On paper, he’s a superstar. But games aren’t played on paper. It’s a crapshoot!

I am officially launching a campaign for Drew Brees: 2017 NFL MVP! I know with the more balanced offense this year, Drew didn’t have to air it out as much. But take him away and the Saints wouldn’t have finished.500. Moreso, he holds or will hold every single passing record in NFL history, yet has never been named MVP. A complete travesty! I know Goodell hates the Saints, and would hate to relent on this matter. But how’s it going to look when the greatest passer in NFL history doesn’t have an MVP award? Bad for business, I say. Since MVP winners rarely win a SB in the same season, go ahead and get it over with right now and then we can concentrate on the draft and FA en route to our 2nd SB title with our MVP: Mr. Brees! Who Dat!

Exactly. And I hate to say it, but drafting a LT in the 1st rd. to protect Brees might be a good idea. Why? Because Armstead is very good, but very injured as well. I thought drafting Ramczyk in rd.1 was a mistake. Look how that worked out for us. He’s as solid as a rock. Unger desperately needs a backup at center to boot. All of these moves could extend Drew’s career. Protect your Super Bowl MVP QB and he will deliver for several more years. Defensively, the Saints have found good players in the later rounds and the number of defenders returning from IR is like getting 2 or 3 full draft classes. Saints are in a good position moving forward. Keep drafting and playing young players on rookie contracts and you can’t go wrong. If Mayfield falls in our lap, I would have to take him. Other than that, O-line, TE,WR, DE,LB,DB. Who Dat!

Agreed. And don’t forget about Strief. I think Ramczyk has firmly established himself as the starter at RT, but Strief would be an excellent backup and would probably welcome that role. It would extend his career at this point and he’s always been a team guy and a leader, so he’s going to take a cut if they ask him. And try and keep Kelemete as well. He proved to be extremely valuable with all the injuries. Very pleased with the O-line. Just need more of em’.

No doubt. We’ve seen more than our share over the years. Hell, Atlanta named their Hail Mary the Big Bend, they beat us so many times on last second TD’s. This was all before Payton and Brees mostly, so I think we don’t expect that to happen anymore. But it sometimes does. Still a very good season!

Not to mention the hotel and tourism revenue from out of towners. The Vikings in the Super Bowl in their Home Stadium would actually be bad for business.
