I'm Brian -- New Orleans -- on the 32 pick in the NFL draft to get a feel for how things might play on the Big Easy let's bring in -- by Ali Walsh and -- Picayune. Brian the eight runs haven't had difficulty with teams a pound the ball all coupled with the loss of linebacker Scott Fujita is normal looking to beef up their deep back in the draft.

Yeah I don't think there's any any doubt I mean when you when you look at it doubt they know they released Charles Grant -- One other starting -- that's eventually ended up -- in the post season because of an injury. Are so that -- That's an area and not only up all the starting standpoint but from a depth standpoint that it got to address. And out as well as losing instruct a -- in the early days of free agency if there's another position -- a player are duct. Position of -- that they have to address so I think it was one of concern going into the offseason anyway. There already starting to look at that boring and not three veteran defense sublime and and sports free agency I would assume that we're gonna try to get at least one out of that group so. It's also position that they're probably going addressed. In -- had done in the draft as well.

One other team needs -- be tried to address in the draft.

Well you know drafting shortage second which is so it's a position that they've never found themselves in the short one if they certainly don't mind being in the you don't need to be more reactive and proactive if you're in the top after the draft or first wanted to excel in other gonna have to evaluate where they need. And I would I would say that they can certainly look for depth along the offensive line. Argue that seem to be good spot at bat number 32. If they don't move out of it for some reason that you couldn't get a good potential climate and I think you know certainly they can look at a linebacker Blair and outside linebacker. Followed that the other -- the defense of line. I think go to that I think you're gonna look for positions so oppositional knee.

Finally as you mentioned that they -- unfamiliar ground with the last pick in the first round if you're the GM who you taking with a 32 --

That that's a hard work for me to answer because you know. One -- that that there are still in the early stages I'm sure they don't even know that -- Who would be in their pulpit at -- a critic and you're reacting just took account of people left or -- and and help people are reactive bought used so how do you. Approach deposition I mean do you have your home bullpen or do you wait for others took. To drop players down into your bullpen and in this supplement. It's going to be a new dynamic for them.
