a right side of Landon and Andrus is definitely the goal for 2017-18.
and Avery Young's best fit is probably at left guard.
If he could work out there, Senio goes to backing up just both Guard spots...
Jack and Marcus battle this year in camp, one of them going on the PS, till they join the 53-Man roster in 2017-18 backing up Max Unger.

BOOM?

Sounds about right to me. Lots of potential in the udfa OL, more than I can ever remember. Jack is one I'll be pulling for, just afraid he's too small, but smaller OCs have made it, so there's hope
I really think this Saint's team is significantly better, but only if healthy

Before the dust settles, Bell will be the nickel/dime starter IMO

DL play really could be a night/day difference.

I expect Jordan to have a much better year since there should be more push coming up the middle.

There were so many times last year he almost got to the QB even with no help from anyone else on the DL.

if you rack and stack the top player by team at each position, I bolded the ones I think we do not have a player in the top half of his position:

QB - Brees/McCown/Grayson
RB - Ingram/Spiller/Hightower/Murphy/Lasco*
FB - A. Johnson
WR1- Cooks/Kyle Prater
WR2- Coleman/Michael Thomas*
SWR- Snead/RJ Harris
TE - Fleener/Hooman/Hill
LT - Armstead/Kelemente
LG - Lelito/Ryan Seymour
C - Unger/Jack Allen*
RG - Landon Turner*/Avery Young*
RT - Peat/Strief

LE - Kikaha/Edebali/Barnes
DT - Rankins*/Richardson/David Onyemata*
NT - Fairley/Jenkins/Davidson
RE - Jordan/Gwachum
SLB- Anthony/Stupar
MLB- Lauranitis/Robertson/Mauti
WLB- Ellerbe/Tull/Erik Harris
CB1- Breaux/PJ Williams
CB2- K. Lewis/Dixon
SCB- K. Wilson/Swann
SS - Vaccaro/Sanford
FS - Byrd/Vonn Bell*

This draft certainly helped but we had too many holes to realistically compete for a Super Bowl this year barring some major improvements by players....Depth is also a big concern, as soon as Breaux and Lewis are out, huge dropoff
