o-line is fine, the saints allowed the 2nd fewest sacks in the league and had 1800+ yards rushing....the problem areas have been the same ones for the past few years, and were obvious in the losses in the reg season and the playoffs....playmaking linebackers, and younger, faster, bigger corners are bigtime needs. fred thomas has started for the last 7 years in NO and isn't good enough. the saints should look at someone like aaron ross or darelle revis in the draft if theyre around at the 27th pick...they just picked up simmons from the bengals at linebacker, he's a good player but they need more youth there, maybe in the 2nd or 3rd round they can address that...also, depth at defensive tackle and quarterback are issues. i think the receiver position is pretty set with colston and henderson/copper on the other side, especially with bush lining up at receiver alot. a good tight end would be nice though...

Joe Horn is gone...They must address the receiver issue.They will probably look at someone like Anthony Gonzalez from Ohio State which will probably go under the radar. 4.4 sec 40yd at the combine.I would look at another corner possibly too.Don't worry
they will make the playoffs again.I would also look at another backup QB in case of injuries.The defense overall was pretty good,but this year is good year for defensive ends and backs for the draft.Speed is key....Widdle,Anderson,Jefferson are names
you might see in black and gold after the draft.
Good luck.

thye need to upgrade their offensive line! and i say get a good tight end to compliment the passing game! i think the saints will look to replace joe horn! he was good! let's hope the past season was not a fluke! the south is tough! carolina will be good, and the falcons will improve! so the saints need to be on their toes this off-season

the Saints need to get a better defensive line

They will need to replace Joe Horn. They should also work on shoring up their defense particularly in their secondary. They gave up too many big plays this year.
