I'm thinking safety.

Some hate the harper signing, but I'm confident we can use his strengths and not expose his weaknesses.

CB I am confident in as well. I have a feeling cason will play really well getting with Rivera and Wilks.

Last year we seemed to have had a shakey secondary going into the season, but we finished with a #2 defense. I could see our defense be the undisputed #1 this season.

If Godfrey's nickel then CB. If he's safety, then the safety group is better.

So basically Godfrey wherever Godfrey goes that side will be superior? Idk if he will be good this yr coming off the injury. And he hasn't played cb in yrs why do you think he will be a good nickel? Not trying to argue just actually curious.

forced to choose, i'd go with safety.  i don't feel that great about either one, but i think that with that front 7,  that we'll still be in decent shape. i think that safety is pretty much back to the level it was last year heading into the season. CB has a way to go before it gets us back to level. we need at least one more talented guy brought in. i'm not a big fan of keeping godfrey  mainly because of his price tag and the fact he's not a good safety, but i have always thought that CB is his more natural position and that he'd be pretty good there. if they move him to nickel, i'd feel better about CB, but my opinion of the safety group wouldn't change.  the safety corps wouldn't be any weaker if he wasn't there.

Safeties. Sure, Harper and DeCoud are coming off bad seasons, and that's why they signed here for cheap...but they both were recent pro bowl safeties on winning teams. Add in Lester and potentially Godfrey and it's a unit im very confident in.

I don't think our corners are as bad we seem to think. Cason will prove to be a great addition while white will only get better. Thomas, Norman and dockery all have shown signs but were way too.inconsistent.

CB

I actually like our corners. Never a captain fan so replacing him is not a big deal. Cason is the new version of the veteran corner that has past experience with Rivera. Dockery can play. White, Norman, etc., are all tall and should get better this year. In short I think we will be better at corner this year than last.

At safety we have taken a step back. I would have rather had Mike Mitchell than either guy we signed. Godfrey wasn't special before the Achilles and he won't be 100% when the season starts. Lester should improve though. I'll need to see Godfrey play corner at a high level post Achilles with my own eyes in order to believe it.

      Trade deadline

      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.
