I'm not so sure they do...

Keenan Lewis is a very solid #1 corner, it was their lack of a second corner that hurt them. Now they have Browner as a #2, who can shut down anyone not named KB (Lewis will be on him anyway) on our team. Don't forget they'll also have Jarius Byrd coming back as well.

They have a solid center now and 2 first round picks. They still have Colston and Cooks and 2 more picks in the 3rd round to address their need for more WR's (a #3).

I'm guessing Payton will be able to utilize Spiller's strengths and get him the ball in space. They could use that second first rounder and grab Maxx Williams, he's obviously not Jimmy but he fills a need at TE.

I do question the Ingram signing though, I thought Robinson did a nice job last year. I'm not ready to write the Saints off just yet.

 

Their D might be OK.  But they just blew up a Top 3 offense.  Our WR/TE are better and we have one of the worst in the NFL.  

 

Saints can't run the rock. Just cover the screen game and short dump off.  Brees can't throw it vertical anymore either.

 

They lost a big element.

i thought the Saints' other moves were smart, but I don't yet see why they thought this move was a good idea. Basically they gave up Kenny Stills for a 3rd Round pick and that is a very good deal for Miami.

Yes, the Saints also got LB Dannell Ellerbe, but that is basically like getting Curtis Lofton back (their under-performing and aging ILB they cut recently). Ellerbe is half a year older than Lofton. He would take Lofton's place for the Saints as iLB in their 3-4. Ellerbe excelled in that role for the Ravens in the Ravens 3-4 (ranked top 13 iLB his last year there, 2012). He was the #1 iLB in FA that yr and MIA signed him to a monster contract. In 2013, he played out-of-position as MLB in MIA's 4-3 (his natural fit would be OLB in a 4-3) and was rated poorly despite amassing 101 tackles. He missed 2014 with injury.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
