Here’s what I don’t get re Saints ranking predictions

Off the top of my head

Lost Mike, Ram and Maye
Gained Young and Gay

You can argue semantics but that is difficult to call an even swap much less an improvement. Other teams are only adding in the offseason.
Ram was hurt and not himself. MIke was nothing like he used to be and Maye was never good here anyway so replacing those 3 with average players in their starting roles is an improvement.
