Saints Need an Offensive Weapon (1 Viewer)

And which WRs in the league can be counted on to play 17 games? It's the nature of the position . Maybe ask the Rams if they should get rid of Puka or Kupp since they can't be counted on. I'm all for drafting big X this yr. I'd love to have McMillan or Harris or even Higgins

To be honest, we had D league receivers behind our top three. We did not even have a Doubs(Jayden Reed is not a true number one receiver to boot) or Davidson.

Also, I think defenses will view Shaheed as the number one receiver if we stay put and that means Olave will have to step up.

Not all weaknesses can be addressed...on any team. We need to look at what was really hurting us this year. Our defenses played well in first halfs, but when they're continually put back on the field they're going to get burned. Also, we got turnovers and did nothing with a lot of them. Carr, unlike Brees, is a QB who needs deep yardage playmakers due to his RedZone issues. Our offenses stalled continuously and that can be pointed to in the losses to LAR, Washington, TB, Philadelphia, and LAC. Even LV. Turn those into wins and we're 11-6. Maybe 9-8 due to the winning mentality of Philadelphia and LAR.

We did trade Lattimore so maybe we need a CB. This board hammered Adebo before he got hurt yet he was not really a liability. Thomas is not it. But other than that we need to keep our defense rested.

Adebo got hammered for never turning his head when he was at the ball. How many PIs can you take?

Saints have to find a way to do both. We do have offensive weapons but all of them were hurt this year crazily. However we need a bigger physical #1 type receiver that can make contested catches. We need a true receiving TE to compliment the offense. FIRST AND FOREMOST we must fix this o line. You can have all the weapons in the world. If you can’t open a run lane or protect the QB IT DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU HAVE.

A+

If we chose Mike Mcarthy expect a 180 degree turn from how we draft, and it’s for the BETTER..

FRISCO, Texas – Perhaps he didn't realize it at the time, but Mike McCarthy gave us a blueprint for this draft process all the way back in January.
Just one week after he was hired as the Cowboys' new head coach, McCarthy sat down with reporters and covered a bevy of topics. Among them was a question about how he'd go about finding players to fit his preferred defensive scheme – though the answer revealed plenty about his team building philosophy as a whole.
"I think if you have a system of defense where you need a certain player to fit your scheme, you're limiting your personnel department," McCarthy said at the time. "We know what a Dallas Cowboys football player looks like. The length, the athletic ability. Let's get as many good football players as we possibly can."
Fast forward a few months, and that mantra seems to have come to fruition. Throughout the 2020 NFL Draft this past weekend, the Cowboys were lucky enough to have several surprisingly talented players fall to their draft slot. Without fail, they turned in their cards for the highest-rated player available – from CeeDee Lamb in the first round, to Bradlee Anae all the way in the fifth.

If you think that sounds like a bit of a shift in philosophy, you're not alone. To hear it from executive vice president of player personnel Will McClay, it was one of the first things he noted about working with McCarthy.
"When he joined the organization and we started talking about players, one of the first things out of his mouth was 'Players over system,'" McClay said on Tuesday. "Well, that rung a bell with me right away."
It's the opposite of what had been the norm for several years in Dallas. Some of the organization's biggest draft misses in recent memory have centered around the question of talent versus scheme. The Cowboys famously selected Taco Charlton over T.J. Watt in 2017, at least partially due to concern that Watt couldn't play defensive end in their system.
Contrast that with McCarthy, who also said back in January that it's his responsibility to make sure the parameters of his scheme are large enough to accommodate any good football players.

"That was a unique thing to hear a coach say, because most of it is system-based when they look at things," McClay said. "So that opened the door for a lot of things."

At least 2 if not more…. But agreed.

We need to accumulate talent like other bad teams. That's the downside of all these 8-9-type seasons.

We have major injuries every year.

Not even remotely close to what we had this yr
