The Saints have their QB. What’s their No. 1 priority now? Our writers give their take.

The NFL’s new league year starts Wednesday. With that comes free agency, a chance for teams to bolster their rosters.

The Times-Picayune’s Saints writers and columnists gathered at the roundtable to discuss the latest on the Saints. Here’s the third of four questions:

Now that the Saints have found their quarterback, what position should be their biggest priority, either through free agency or the draft?

Luke Johnson: The most pressing thing at the current moment is defensive tackle, because the Saints only have one of those players on the roster — and he did not play a single down for them last season. That said, the offense is my main concern with this team. New Orleans did well to add some juice to its receiving corps last year, but it needs to complement that with better options at running back and someone who can reliably move the chains on third down.

Jeff Duncan: Defensive tackle and running back are glaring areas of need. The only defensive tackle under contract is Prince Emile, who has played a total of two games in his career. The Saints would have liked to bring back David Onyemata, but he has reportedly agreed to terms with Atlanta. Meanwhile, running back is equally barren, assuming Alvin Kamara is suspended at some point. Next on the depth chart are Eno Benajmin, Dwayne Washington and Derrick Gore. You have to think at least one first- or second-day draft pick will be used on a running back.

Terrin Waack: It has to be running back. Alvin Kamara’s status is up in the air with his ongoing case in Las Vegas, and that should be worrisome for the Saints. But even if that weren’t the case, I’d still say running back. That position was a revolving door of players last season behind Kamara. The team needs better depth there for consistency and reliability reasons.

Rod Walker: The interior of the defensive line needs some work. Right now, they just don’t have a lot of bodies and they will need some to keep the defense up to standard. Losing David Onyemata to the Falcons and Shy Tuttle to the Panthers is a tough blow. A team that has drafted some defensive ends in recent years needs to shift the focus to defensive tackle this time around in both free agency and the draft.
