Post draft... what positions do you think we are weakest at?

My biggest concern heading into this year is the LB group, we're just thin there and even when healthy it doesn't appear to be a very good unit overall. 

My second concern is TE. Hurst is good but he has injury baggage and behind him is still the woeful Ian Thomas

Defense.. particularly pass rusher and LB really need another DB as well I think they are setting the new DC up to fail personally... 

Pretty harsh take there. Most believe our defense is a top 10 defense.  We put a good offense on the field our defensive numbers are going to improve.  Hopefully, 3 and out doesn't happen too often and our defense will stay straight.

I do think LB can be upgraded and probably will after Evero gets a chance to see our guys perform in OTAs and minicamps.  Our scheme is changing so it is very hard to say what our front seven is going to look like.

After Hurst TE is a bit thin.  I am hoping now that Fhule is gone Tremble will get more action and prove his value.

Defense in my opinion was pretty overrated last year.. now a new scheme change and no new additions?? I don't see it going well for us at all

Our defense is not top 10. I wish it was, but we don’t have the pieces quite yet. Need LB, CB, and another good DE.

Eviro scheme and 3-4 in general rely on the ends to free up the OLB to get after the qb. Got solid set of 3-4 style DE's that can do that. 

 

CB is definitely a ? mark because of health. 

 

Olb must be what your talking about at LB and they drafted one and have a bunch of young guys that fit the new scheme really well. 

 

Are people forgetting the switch to 3-4?? 

 

Tons of post in here that make me think so.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
