HN: After a busy free agency, how have those needs changed in the past few weeks?
AS: Needs before free agency – cornerback, pass rusher, defensive tackle, offensive line. After free agency – pass rusher, defensive tackle, interior linebacker, offensive line, wide receiver, cornerback and tight end (but look out for Josh Hill this season).
Personally, I believe building up that front-seven is top priority.
HN: One of the benefits of the Graham trade was the acquisition of another first round pick. What direction would you like the Saints to take with that?
AS: I’d like the Saints to go defense with both first rounders. If not, then I at least hope three of their first four picks address the D.
