New Orleans Saints Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: James Rees, mvn.com/nfl-saints

Team Needs: DB, DT, TE, LB

Key additions: LB Jonathan Vilma (Jets), LB Dan Morgan (Carolina), CB Randall Gay (New England), DE Bobby McCray (Jacksonville)

Key Losses: C Jeff Faine (Tampa Bay)

Key Free Agents Retained: WR David Patten, WR Devery Henderson, OL Jonathan Goodwin, LB Mark Simoneau

Free Agency Notes: The Saints were close to last in almost every important defensive category last season. The bulk of the offseason additions so far have been defensive players, making it clear GM Mickey Loomis has recognized the problem and has taken steps to address it. Vilma is the prize of the offseason. The former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, if healthy, will make an immediate impact on a Saints defense in huge need of a playmaker. Randall Gay will provide depth in the secondary and could become a starter if he's able to beat out Jason David (shouldn't be a problem). On offense, the Saints were smart to resign Patten and Henderson. It'll provide continuity to the receiving corps and keep things in rhythm between Drew Brees and his pass catchers. New Orleans still has needs at cornerback and safety and will likely look to add depth at those positions in the upcoming draft

Grade: B+

Review of Grade: New Orleans vastly improved their defense with the additions of Vilma and Morgan, but holes in the secondary still remain. Look for the Saints to have a defensive-oriented draft. The offense is one of the best in the league as it stands right now so additions on that side of the ball will be minimal.
