It doesn't take a long-time football fan to realize the Saints were a team without an identity for much of last season.Dennis Allen's first season as head coach in New Orleans was fraught with i sues at quarterback, injuries, and lapses on the field. The Saints will hope his second year is more succe sful with Derek Carr taking over at quarterback, po sibly providing some much-needed continuity to the Tony Phillips Jersey position in the post-Drew Brees era.The Saints know they have needs up and down the roster. That's why they lobbied so hard to get a Matt Chapman Jersey first-round pick back in the Sean Payton trade with the Eagles picking in their spot at 10. This is a team that's notorious for wheeling and dealing, so there's a good chance Mickey Loomis and Co. won't stand pat at 29 either.The Saints are trying to get back to the top spot in an NFC South that looks le s than inspiring this year. At 7-10 last year, if their offseason changes get them three or four wins, they could find themselves back in Dave Henderson Jersey the playoffs.TSN'S NFL DRAFT HQ | | Here's what the Saints are working with in the 2023 NFL Draft to make that happen:Round 1, Pick 29

The Saints need defensive end help in the worst way, as their otherwise very good defense could stand to generate more pre sure.Guard:Andrus Peat has long struggled on the line, and the Saints need some help on the interior line. They seem to be content on the outside. However, Jameis Winston and Andy Dalton were regularly under dure s up the middle last year. That isn't going to fly with Carr, who is similarly immobile.Running back:Signing Jamaal Williams was a big deal for the Saints, who are still awaiting word on a potential Alvin Kamara suspension. If Kamara does mi s a large chunk of the season, the Saints will Marco Estrada Jersey need to find someone to share carries for the time he's out and beyond.Here is how the Saints' draft will unfold in 2023, according to:RoundPickPlayerPositionCollege129Nolan SmithEDGEGeorgia240Calijah KanceyDTPitt371Ji'Ayer BrownSPenn State4115Tyjae SpearsRBTulane5146Olusegun OluwatimiG/CMichigan5166Warren McClendonOTGeorgia7227Noah GindorffTENotre Dame7257Bryce Ford-WheatonWRWest Virginia
