He's usually spent a majority of his time lined up outside, if I'm not mistaken, though he definitely can operate out of the slot.
Call me greedy, but I still think Justin Jefferson in the 1st would put the cherry on top for this offense, and he'd get to work out of the slot - where he dominated last season - with Thomas and Sanders on the outside and Cook at TE. Throw in a healthy Kamara and it would be an embarrassment of riches for Brees.
I get that we have more pressing needs, and it will depend on who's there when we're on the clock. But I can dream.

That's an awesome point about the Sanders signing. He and Thomas can move around and play from both the inside and outside. If we draft a WR, it really doesn't matter where they fit in. As long as the draft pick is better than every Saints WR not named Thomas or Sanders, the options will be plentiful.Sanders is and has been a great slot receiver but also played a lot outside. His usage was a little different last season so probably isn't the best indicator of what positions he should play.
If you want to create a scenario for taking a slot player in the draft, though, you could argue Sanders would be a fine tutor to learn behind for a year or two.
Justin Jefferson is not the only slot wr that could pay dividends for this team.He's usually spent a majority of his time lined up outside, if I'm not mistaken, though he definitely can operate out of the slot.

Im not gonna lie,
I really like Justin Jefferson but just not in the first over some of the bigger outside guys, especially since Sanders is in the house.
But this is an incredible year not just for wrs, but also SLOT wrs.
Beyond Jefferson, Stewart, Ffrench, Kinsey and Perry are my favorites.
Malcom Perry might be the most intriguing of all because he never played wr in college but he can be groomed to take over for Sanders on the PS.
The kid ran for 2017 yds last year and even scored a 58 yd td in the shrine game.
He has Barry Sanders-esque short quarters quickness but also has tremendous speed as well.
He can truly be the next Antwan Randle-El
Im not sure that I've seen a wr pull off a run like that one vs Memphis in my last post since Peter Warrick did this in 99'Now THAT was fun. Taysom II
