Then go OT Lane Johnson Oklahoma at #15.


If we use our 1st rounder to replace one of our best players, we've not improved at all. If youre lucky, its a wash.

I think you use you early round picks to address current weaknesses,and hopefully the depth built with mid/late round picks can step in if you absolutely cannot sign bushmaster.

not if he is a better player. A dominant LT added could amp up the offense even more and provide better insurance for Breesus as he ages. Then there's money, Bushrod LT for 4yrs and say a conservative $28+million or Johnson for 4 years for $9.5million (last year's #15 deal)?

the saints are one of the stronger BPA teams in the league historically. And I'm not convinced that Galette or Wilson could be just as dynamic or even more so than a Dion Jordan who has the word "project" in almost every scouting report

Charles Brown hasn't shown us that he is anywhere near ready. Who else at LT? I don't know that any other current OTs have any potential there. LT isn't a position to ride on hope.

You would be improving the weakness by adding Kruger.
It's would you prefer Kruger and lane Bryant vs resigning bushrod and which ever pass rushing de you would take at 15.

Personally I don't trust brown to protect Brees' blindside. Not to mention there's also uncertainty at rt. You can throw away the plug and play theory with what we currently have. We'll have to see what's on the market come free agency.
