How good are the Saints looking this season?

With Moreau’s triumphant return to the field, the Saints now boast a formidable top-tier offense. Recent reports confirm his presence at practice in May, allowing him to showcase his skills while enjoying the proximity to his home. However, it is worth noting that Moreau still has ground to cover as Juwan Johnson currently holds a higher position in the depth chart.

Nevertheless, the Saints have actively reshaped their roster, particularly through strategic draft picks on the offensive side, aiming to rectify the team’s weaknesses and bolster their overall performance. The defense roster has also experienced a considerable uplift with promising prospects like Bryan Bresee.
