Top three needs: CB, WR, OL. The Saints have needs all over the roster, and there are strong arguments to be made as to whether they should take a pass rusher this year or even a quarterback. The Saints are bringing back QB Derek Carr for at least one more season, so they might not feel forced to try to make a move at No. 9.
Cornerback remains a priority after losing two starters, and the Saints need more young faces at WR.
