Drew Brees (Quarterback): Brees will have to face life without Jimmy Graham which should be pretty nice considering he will not be getting sacked every other play. Brees is a top 5 quarterback and should see a more positive stat line with a better offensive line.

Brandin Cooks (Wide Receiver): Cooks is the primary target for the Saints offense and will likely see the most touches out of any wide receiver. Cooks small frame makes it hard to draft him so high but his production should be well worth the pick.

Brandon Coleman (Wide Receiver): Coleman is a 6'6 wide receiver who can be dominant anywhere on the field. Now that the regular season is here expect Coleman to become one of the more targeted wide receivers in this offense.

Willie Snead, Marques Colston (Wide Receivers): Colston is on his way out as his productivity has dropped tremendously over the past few seasons. Snead has carved out a place in this offense after being so dependable in the preseason. Both players should be around towards the end of the draft.

Benjamin Watson , Josh Hill (Tight Ends): Watson nor Hill will replace Jimmy Graham entirely however they will do it as a unit. Watson will have every down TE duties as he will line up everywhere. At 35 Watson is a bit more of a risk than Hill who should be a red zone target.

Mark Ingram (Running Back): Ingram is coming off a career year and will likely get the bulk of the carries this season. The Saints acquired Max Unger one of the best run blockers period so Ingram should find some nice holes. Expect the Saints to run the ball a ton and the only drawback with Ingram is that he tends to be injury prone.

C.J. Spiller (Running Back): Spiller did not play in preseason after getting his knee scoped so that already says volumes about his injury risk but he will be a productive back utilizing the Darren Sproles role in this offense.
