Biggest roster weaknesses for NFC South teams

NFL, Atlanta Falcons

In a series of articles over the next few days, Football Outsiders will be looking division-by-division at the biggest hole left on each team's roster after free agency and the 2015 NFL draft.

This is the entry for the NFC South.


New Orleans Saints

Biggest post-draft weakness: Receiver depth

Kenny Stills caught 63 passes for 931 yards last year, leading the Saints in receiving yards. Jimmy Graham was right behind him with 889 yards and caught 10 receiving touchdowns, twice as many as anyone else in New Orleans. The Saints traded Stills to Miami and Graham to Seattle, and then replaced them with very little. The Saints did not draft a single player at wide receiver or tight end and signed only one free agent: Josh Morgan, a 30-year-old veteran who caught just 10 passes for 70 yards in Chicago last year.
