Will they take a quarterback? The buzz certainly seems to indicate the New Orleans Saints are willing to go that route. However, though important the fact is this team still has a chance to make one last run at a Super Bowl while Drew Brees has some gas in the tank. That’s not going to happen though unless they fix the chronic problems that have plagued them on defense. Chief among the problems? The pass rush. <p>They need to put somebody opposite Cameron Jordan. There is no doubt the potential they’re getting with the addition of Taco Charlton. Not only big and long for an edge rusher, he’s also surprisingly athletic. He can be moved around to find good matchups and was really starting to discover his talent towards the end of 2016 when the sacks started to pile up. If he continues to hone his craft, he’ll be a perfect Robin to Jordan’s Batman.</p>. DE. Michigan. Taco Charlton . 11. player. 15
