Sean Payton watched his Hall of Fame quarterback, Drew Brees, retire this offseason, and with former No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston set to take over, Payton knows the Saints defense is going to need some improvement instead of focusing on Brees’ replacement.
More specifically, the Saints need to add a top-tier cornerback either in free agency or with their first-round pick in the coming draft.
