New Orleans Saints
A weaker position group may not look so weak in the end.
When looking at the New Orleans Saints’ roster, one position group may have the most changes from last season: The cornerbacks. After making a great trade and not making re-signings, the Saints’ CB room took a massive hit. Entering training camp, the CBs were the main position that I felt very uneasy about.

Current Tennessee Titans rookie Cam Ward was far and away the top QB prospect in the class, but besides him, no other QBs were deserving of going in the first round.
