2018 NFL Over-Under Win Totals: Saints have serious Super Bowl firepower on both sides
By Will Brinson @WillBrinson
Even when they won their only Super Bowl with Drew Brees and Sean Payton, the Saints were a one-dimensional team. Gregg Williams ran an -- ahem -- aggressive defense, but it wasn't necessarily a good defense, just an opportunistic one.
Last year things magically changed in New Orleans, thanks in large part to a historically good draft class that featured Marshon Lattimore and Marcus Williams, first- and second-round picks respectively, step up in a big way and improve the defensive side of the ball. The Saints went from a defense that is perennially the worst in the NFL to a top-10 team by DVOA, a highly improbable jump up from 31st in a single season.
Ryan Rymcyzk and Alvin Kamara, offensive picks in those same rounds, helped too. The Saints became a running-focused team, but in a modern way, with Kamara fitting in perfectly as a modern air back who can also run between the tackles. He and Mark Ingram were an incredible complement to each other, and a four-game suspension for Ingram shouldn't derail that. Ramcyzk allows them to watch Zach Strief walk away without skipping a beat. The offensive line is loaded, just like every other position group on this team.
Did I mention they have Drew Brees? No, I did not. They do! And he's still very good, even if the Saints don't need him to do as much as they have in years past thanks to leaning on the running game.

Yaccarino’s: Saints Day 2 Mock Draft
Last night, the NFL Draft kicked off, and the New Orleans Saints selected offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr. with their first selection. This was not a surprising pick by the team, with their belief in building the offensive and defensive lines first. Still, the Saints had an opportunity to trade up in the back of the first round to select one of the QB prospects, but did not do it. This could have been for several reasons, and in the end, it may have been a blessing in disguise. Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe, and Tyler Shough are all still available going into the second round, and with...

After picking up Kelvin Banks Jr. with pick number 9, the New Orleans Saints will make another early selection in round 2 at pick 40.

The Saints still have plenty of roster holes to fill so let’s take a look at who is still available at positions of need in New Orleans.
The elephant in the room here is Will Johnson, CB from Michigan. He’s the number one rated corner in the draft class and definitely had a first round...
