TE Tyler Warren as Saints 1st pick?

We absolutely need help in the trenches, particularly at DT. We're getting little push up the middle and getting gashed in run defense. We also need to look at replacing Davis at LB and have issues at DE.

We also need a WR1. Olave is good, but with his concussion history, riding with him is risky.

I don't doubt TE is a need, but we have serious issues at other positions that have to be addressed. How you balance all of that in the draft and free agency, I don't know, but there's a lot of work to do.

Ultimately, you probably have to draft BPA in the first round this time.

Drafting a WR1 feels like a wasted pick to me. I'd rather go with a giant TE. Time and again we've seen giant TE's serve as the top passing option. TE's creating linebacker mismatches also forces a safety down which benefits your burners like Shaheed and MVS

We have an interior Oline problem, a QB consistency problem, and although most don't want to admit it, Kamara going into age 30 with how much he gets beat up and no RB's behind him, gives us a RB problem.

All of those problems means you won't get the use out of a WR1 that you pay for. Oline, Front 7 on defense, TE and a RB should likely be our targets. If theres a franchise QB here, you include him in the mix.
