While the season ends in disappointment, it's a credit to Sean Payton and the Saints coaching staff that New Orleans came as close to the playoffs as they did, after injuries and retirements decimated the offense and the massive cap crunch they started the year with. The defense very nearly dragged them into the postseason by themselves, which would have been a tremendous accomplishment. Question one now has to be what to do at quarterback. Do the Saints continue with the Taysom Hill experiment, or use their first-round pick on a Sam Howell type? If they stick with Hill, they could add a much needed receiver, or tackle, or safety to the team...but they'd also be stuck with Hill. -- Bryan Knowles
