NFL Lockout's Impact On The New Orleans Saints

As long as Drew Brees is under center, the Saints will be fine. They have a dynamic offense that won't miss much from an off season without team workouts. The area they will get hurt is with their defense. They need defensive players who can have an immediate impact next season. They lack the play makers on defense that made them so dangerous in 2009 when they won the Super Bowl. The Saints will look to the draft for guys who can step in and play right away. Much like the Colts, their window is starting to close. But a couple solid draft picks this year will help them stay atop the NFC in 2011.
