We’re just two days out from the 2013 NFL draft and all things appear to be remaining quiet when it comes to the New Orleans Saints, which shouldn’t come as a surprise since Sean Payton and Co. like to be secretive.
Still, today we will examine some positions of need for the Saints, hit you with more prospect profiles and talk about Darrelle Revis landing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Let’s take a look.

ESPN Says Saints Are 2nd-Most Offensive Line-Needy This Year in the NFC South
Per Pat Yasinskas:
After the loss of Jermon Bushrod as a free agent, the Saints are dangerously thin at left tackle. They went out and signed Jason Smith, and Charles Brown already was on the roster. But Smith and Brown have had disappointing careers so far. Maybe one of them finally turns things around. But can you afford to trust Drew Brees’ blindside to either of them?
ESPN Also Says Saints Are Most WR-Needy Team in NFC South
Per Pat Yasinskas:
You can make a case that any receiver with Drew Brees as his quarterback instantly becomes good. But New Orleans’ receiving corps suddenly looks much thinner than it has in recent years. Beyond Marques Colston and Lance Moore, there are no proven threats. Nick Toon missed his rookie year with an injury and could become a factor, but there are no guarantees.
