Michael Thomas ranked tied for sixth in receiving touchdowns with nine and ninth in the league in receiving yards (1,137) and receptions (92). Thomas also broke all of the notable Saints rookie receiving records, which meant passing all-time team great Marques Colston.
Cooks over 1,000 yards and Ingram ran for over 1'000 yards.
This is why I say go OL in the first round. DE/LB/QB in the second round. QB/RB in the 3rd. Value picks after that.

Facing a period where the team could have anywhere from $24-30 million at their disposal is the exact opposite of what Saints fans are accustomed to. The news gets even better when you look at only $9.1 million in dead money. The best news is that the Saints could easily gain another $10-15 million by making a lot of smart and logical moves. For instance, players like Jairus Byrd ($11.7 million cap hit), Terron Armstead ($12 million cap hit), and Max Unger ($7.4 million cap hit) could have their contracts restructured to help the team create space.
The team could also work on a long-term deal with safety Kenny Vaccaro ($5.67 million cap hit), which could alleviate some space. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Saints front office push money and ‘rob Peter to pay Paul’ to ensure they grab some appealing free agents. Plus, they’ll have some of their own they’ll want to sign. Let’s also not forget about the Canadian connection with the CFL, which has brought in Delvin Breaux and Erik Harris in the past couple of years.
No matter how you slice it, fans just want to see the right ones, not necessarily the splashy ones.
