2016 NFL Power Rankings: Chasing The West Divisions

. . New Orleans Saints . 25. player. 15. Having Drew Brees has covered up a lot of the mistakes the New Orleans Saints have made over the years and that should continue to be the case in 2016. However, it looks like GM Mickey Loomis has done quite a job reloading the offense around their future Hall of Fame quarterback. Brandin Cooks is a stud at wide receiver. He’s joined by promising rookie Michael Thomas, not to mention tight end Coby Fleener. Throw in a solid offensive line and a good running back in Mark Ingram and this team is going to score points. <p>The problem is can they stop other teams from doing the same. Don’t forget the Saints won a game last year 52-49. Issues persist for them on defense. Hopes are new coordinator Dennis Allen can get the mess sorted out. They made sure to bring him some help with two more high draft picks in defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and safety Vonn Bell. Both have made positive impressions thus far but it will take more than their arrivals to fix what is broken.</p>
