At some positions, the roster looks solid. At guard, at defensive tackle. Kicker. Maybe at tight end. Maybe at linebacker. But outside of those positions, the New Orleans Saints have holes that they badly need to fill before the 2017 season. And that means they’ll need to have an outstanding draft.
The most obvious positions of need are defensive end and cornerback. Even if the Saints land Malcolm Butler, they’ll likely look to add another young CB to the wonderfully uncertain and injury-prone group through the draft. And even if the Saints manage to land a top DE with the 11th pick, they’ll likely double dip at EDGE rusher in the later rounds.
