Number Two: Tajae Sharpe

If the New Orleans would rather bring in a straight-up burner to add some decent depth, they could prefer to bring in a guy like Tajae Sharpe instead of Kenny Stills. Sharpe, 25, has incredible speed and could be an upgrade over some of the depth the Saints currently have at the wide receiver position.

Tajae Sharpe was recently released by the Minnesota Vikings after having zero receptions through the first 14 weeks, but he was used in a very limited role and was only targeted three total times and only played five offensive snaps.

Sharpe is a very solid wide receiver however and dominated during his three-year stint with the Tennessee Titans.

In three seasons with Tennessee, Sharpe recorded 92 receptions, 1,167 receiving yards, 12.7 yards per reception, 69 first downs, and eight receiving touchdowns. Sharpe would be an absolute burner at the wide receiver position for the Saints and Sean Payton could find his speed appealing considering how short staffed the team is in the position.
