The New Orleans Saints won seven games in each of the last three seasons, so head coach Sean Payton was on the hot seat heading into 2017. However, Payton turned things around, thanks to an incredible running back tandem in Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. With Drew Brees likey to be locked up this offseason, this Saints offense will be special once again in 2018, and they should look to add a wideout weapon in round one in April.

Michael Thomas is one of the best wide receivers in the NFC, but he needs some help next season. There have been rumors that the team will bring in former tight end Jimmy Graham this offseason, which will give them another target in the red zone. With their first round pick, the team may decide to bring in a player like Christian Kirk, who has first round ability to go along with an incredible football IQ.

Kirk was a beast during his time with the Texas A&M Aggies, proving to be one of the best wideouts in the SEC. He is going to be a game-changer at the next level, as he has the kind of talent that can really take the lid off a defense. The Saints need to be able to throw to more than just Thomas next season, so adding Kirk and a tight end like Graham could make them elite on that side of the ball.
