New Orleans Saints: 3 positions that still need attention post-draft

The Saints still need to work on their wide receiving corps.

Last offseason, I was in this same position talking about how Tre’Quan Smith wasn’t cutting it as the Saints’ No. 2 receiver and that they need to look elsewhere for the answer to that problem. Well, they listened — for one season.

They went out and signed Emmanuel Sanders from the San Francisco 49ers. He actually played very well in Michael Thomas‘ place as he was injured most of the season. However, because of budgetary issues, the team ended up releasing Sanders.

Here we are again.

This time, I do think that Tre’Quan Smith showed enough last year to warrant another go-around from the team. Another receiver, Deonte Harris played very well in his snaps that he was afforded last year, but he is still rather young in his receiving talents.

The team is still going to need some help in this position.

They used most of their draft on defensive players and waited until the seventh round to draft a receiver. Kawaan Baker should add some depth, but they could still use a better No. 2 unless Smith proves me wrong this time.
