Ellis led the team in sacks last year and with another DT demanding double teams, he can be even more of a force.
Smith is solid but he needs a better player on the other side. Brown is okay, but he is a better run stuffer than he is going after the QB.
Also OLB is a huge need. Castillas will be a stud but he was hurt last year. Shanle needs to either be a back up or be allowed to leave.
I hope they trade down from 24 and grab a few extra picks. They only have 5 picks and they have an assload of FA’s. Now more than half of them were guys signed due to injuries last year, but still, more picks would be helpful

Ryan Kerrigan would be awesome, but he’ll be gone before the Saints can draft him. Same with JJ Watt and Corey Liuget.

The 5th pick in the draft for the Saints 1st, 2nd, 3rd round pick.

Picking a player in that spot will only improve their defense unless they pick an offensive player.

possible players available could be: V. Miller, P. Peterson, D. Bowers, M. Dareus, and R. Quinn….just to name a few.
giving up 3 players in the draft for almost a sure improvement to your defense…..you be the judge!

Alex Brown and Will Smith are fine for now (as are Ellis and Ayodele, etc…). Depth and development is needed, but a rookie starter at OLB would be huge.
