Saints loaded up at LB in 2017, but still need athletic playmaker

The New Orleans Saints had a terrific 2017 offseason when it came to overhauling their linebacker position.

Veterans A.J. Klein and Manti Te'o were great finds in free agency, both at relatively bargain rates. And rookie Alex Anzalone looked like an excellent value pick in the third round of the draft before his history of shoulder injuries crept again with a season-ending injury in Week 4.

Meanwhile, veteran Craig Robertson continued to be a very reliable fill-in option after he was one of New Orleans' best value finds in free agency in 2016.
