Good morning, and welcome to the Wednesday, April 10 edition of the Saints Insider newsletter. Hope you've recovered from the post-solar eclipse blues and are ready for some football news. Here's our rundown for today: Targeting a target?For the first time in several years, Michael Thomas, aka "Can't Guard Mike," is not part of the Saints' receiver corps on Airline Drive. Does that mean the team needs to add another pass catcher to the mix via the NFL Draft? Possibly. Beat writer Luke Johnson looks at the potential pass-catching options available at No. 14 in Round 1 and in later rounds. And wide receiver isn't the only position the Saints might consider for playmakers, Johnson reports. Seeking an edgeThe Saints struggled mightily to rush the passer last season. They signed Chase Young in free agency to address the need, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're done seeking help. Beat writer Matthew Paras analyzes the defensive end prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft and makes a strong case why one West Coast lineman might be a good fit for the Saints.
