It is all in the pick the Saints can turn the D around with a DT CB and a MLB IMO. I know we would like a FS but we have KK who I really think could play it well and did so when given the oppertunity last season. If we can sign Florance and Williams and get a MLB in the draft either in round 1 or 2 we could go BPA the rest of the draft and not worry about taking players to high because of need. Lofton would be my pick in round two. Take a look at this D
DE Smith
DT Williams Moorehead
NT Thomas Clancy
DEGrant Wynn
SLB Fujita Evans
MLB Lofton Mitchell
WLB Shanle/DP/FA
SS Harper Reis
FS KK Bullocks
LCB McK DP David Young
RCB Florance Craft
DP = Draft Pick
That defense has 8-8 written all over it to me. I sure hope we have more turnover than that.
I think we need two new starters at LB'er (FA and a Rook) whether it be Briggs/Boley/Williams along with Lofton/Rivers/Conner I'm not sure but I don't think we have a starting caliber LB'er on our team at this point. Fujita is a solid player but highly overrated on this board and would be a decent player with more athleticism around him but is not a playmaker that can carry a defense. We also need a new starting Safety and Corner.......Gibril Wilson or Madieu Williams would be nice additions especially Wilson but I'm sure we aren't looking to break the bank in FA. And at corner, then you have to get a physical corner with size.....Foxworth and Florence aren't the answer and seem like the second coming of J. David to me.
I certainly don't have all the answers but it seems like we have more questions than answers on defense and need playmakers at almost every position.
