NFC South: New Orleans Saints

The Saints are tough to figure out this year, but there is no doubt that the loss of Darren Sproles changed them for the worse on offense. That can’t get Sproles back, but I think they can try to go get a guy who can do some of the things he could.

I’d go after Kansas City’s Cyrus Gray, a guy who has shown the ability to catch passes and be explosive in the open field. I think the Saints could land him by trading corner Stanley Jean-Baptiste, a big-bodied corner who is a bit of a project, yet is loaded with potential.

Once you had Gray in the fold and started getting him the ball out of the backfield regularly, you’d see everything open up for this Saints offense like it did when Sproles was there.
