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)?

you use you early round picks to address current weaknesses

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

hopefully the depth built with mid/late round picks can step in

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.

He was playing pretty good before going down. Hell, his backup stepped in and held his own, then he went down.

Going with a tackle or a DB in the first could bring someone like Chase Thomas into the fold in the 3rd, at rush backer.

I dunno, but recall how the Saints build their OLine - the exact opposite from the way most teams do: from the inside out. This gives the vertically challenged Brees the room to step up and deliver before the edge rush can get there.

Id hesitate on putting a premium on a tackle spot, esp if you can get an impact player for D.
