What are our options?

I have been way busy and haven't kept up with it much (FA, draft lead-up, etc).

I just know that we had a decent (not great) LT that we let go because CHI paid through the nose.

Obviously we don't have a good farm of replacements, so who do we have?

Any of the non-draftees a solid replacement?

I think we can get by especially with good health.

Agreed. I think Brown will be alright, IF healthy. Big ol' IF.

Drew gets rid of the ball so quickly and knows how to step up in the pocket, so you can survive with average. Just look at Bushrod.

Watson in 3rd (if he's not gone)
or
Quessenbury in 4th

Is there any chance of this? Almost every mock I've seen has him going in the first round.

We will survice but we arent going deep into the playoffsif our offensive timing gets wrecked by every decent pass rusher we face. LT should be priority number one by a large margin.

Besides the Eagles game, Brown did well when he was healthy. Smith has potential, but he needs to show something.

I'm for drafting an OT as long as it doesn't screw up our trading back!

I'm actually interested to see how Bret Ingalls does taking over for Kromer. We saw how the OL did when Kromer was splitting duties.

Just curious, who would be available at #15 that would make another team would want to trade up?

I'm confused...Does Bushrod still "own"?
Or not so much anymore?

Irrelevant! We have to trade back and acquire as many picks as possible regardless of talent, need, etc.

There's always a chance...........at least slim. If Austin is still on the board at 15 the saints will have plenty offers to trade picks. Move down in first and pick up a second

i am not surprised you are confused.

My admiration for Jermon is only partially due to his on field performance.

Perhaps others can fill you in, I lack motivation to explain further. . .since I am not sure who you are

I agree this is the only possibility. But, they won't get a 1st and 2nd. Maybe a 1st and 3rd.

I'm just yanking your chain, pussy.
Why the hell would you have to know me to respond or be motivated to respond?

Fyi Suntiger was full of sarcasm with that one because he has voiced how sick he is of people saying we need to trade back
