These are my biggest questions for 2019 for the Saints:
1. Marcus Williams. He regressed in 2018. Based on his rookie season, he looked a future blue-chip player. Not so in 2018 where his instincts and ball skills, his strengths in 2017, looked average, and he looked as though he never fully overcame the missed tackle in the Minnesota playoff game.
2. Marcus Davenport. He is good. The questions are how good and how quickly can he come close to realizing his potential.
3. Terron Armstead. Can he stay healthy?
4. Marshon Lattimore. In 2017, he was one of the best cornerbacks in the game. In 2018, he looked slower and did not match his high level of play as a rookie. I am expecting a return to his 2017 form.
5. Young WRs. Do we have a young wide receiver on this roster who can step up his game and become at least an average number two receiver?
6. Aaron Glenn and Dennis Allen. Glenn has a great reputation, but last year two young DBs regressed, Williams noticeably and Lattimore if slightly. And Dennis Allen has talent to work with. Excluding Rankins, we have on defense 5 first-round picks, 3 second-round picks, and 2 third-round picks. We don't have late round picks and undrafted free agents on defense. It is time for the defense to move to an even higher level.
