Both players have the potential to be great starters in the NFL, and a full offseason with Brandon Staley&#8217;s scheme should help with their development, but betting on that is scary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Right now, the Saints&#8217; top needs are WR, EDGE, and CB.
