The Saints made some very good draft selections and free agency signings in terms of talent. They've brought in plenty of improvements to strengthen their defence which was the second lowest ranked in the league in 2014, while they've added steel to the O-line in the shape of C Max Unger. That's all well and good, but they've sacrificed a lot to get there. Jimmy Graham, the Saints' red-zone predator, will line up for the Seahawks, leaving a gaping hole in New Orleans' team. WR Kenny Stills also departed. Yet remarkably during the draft, they didn't select a single wide receiver or tight end with any of their nine picks. It's a huge gamble by the Saints, one that could negate the defensive improvements. 2015 Record: 7-9 (3rd in NFC South)
