This defense has a chance to be special with a safety.

If we get a safety just imagine how complete our defense would be as a unit? I know we don't have studs at DT but we are still one of the best teams in the league with just 4 man pressure thanks to Hardy, Alexander, and Johnson. I mean just imagine how scary our D is going to be next year if we get a 2TD lead on anyone in the league? Even Aaron Rodgers would have trouble trying to pass on our D with 7 always able to drop back (and Gamble would be back hopefully we would have a second safety that can play so we cannot give up Hail Mary catches to people like RODDY WHITE) to cover 5 sometimes 4 because of needing max protection. I don't know about you but I can live til next year without having to go through the growing pains of watching a rookie O-lineman/D-lineman.

An expensive O-line really wouldn't be that cost-effective for a player like Cam anyways. Even if we have the best o-line in football he would still be running away from them on some plays negating their price tag. I think all we need is a Safety in the first, WR in Free Agency, Nose Tackle in the 2nd round. AND THE BEST fuging KICKER WHO EVER THE fug IT IS, I DONT CARE WHAT ROUND. Two (2) rookie kickers dominating the league this year and we have "No Gano."

Oh consider this me being in Camp Safety for who I want in the draft. I unlike most people don't really think missing a stud DT hurt us this year in wins as much as missing a safety and having to play 10 v 11 all year hurt us.

We've got really good DE's but what really give them that edge is when we've gome some push in the middle. One on one Johnson and Hardy are elite. Dwan Edwards is good but is 31. The other Edwards has hit that too old/injured all the time status. This is a pretty good draft for DT.

I want DT,S,WR or OT in the draft.

Right on the mark. Just switch OT to OG.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
