The New Orleans Saints made several smart moves in free agency to plug roster holes, but

they still have key gaps at Y receiver 2, edge rushers, cornerback, and depth along the

defensive line and at linebacker.

Right now, the team is focusing on depth additions while the league-wide signing frenzy has

cooled off.

Their draft capital gives them a strong shot to build for the future without leaving

massive weaknesses.

With a deep pool of talent coming up, especially at wide receiver, the Saints can target starters

in the early rounds.

Free agency leaned offence heavy, so bolstering the defense becomes priority number 1 to avoid

a step back next season.

Analysts see this as a set of for real progress by 2026 if they avoid big holes.

Fans and experts are buzzing about the team's flexibility at pick 8 in the first round,

for grabbing the top defensive talent available makes.

The most since.

Names like edge rushers or safeties could transform the front 7, especially if veterans like

Cam Jordan don't return.

In the second round at pick 42, prioritizing a solid number 2 receiver aligns perfectly

with the loaded class this year.

Then, around pick 73, they could hit another need like corner or guard, keeping options

wide open based on the board.

Later, using picks like 132 and 136 to trade into the top 100 opens doors for more impact

players while day 3 focuses on defensive depth to round out the roster.
