Saints will target Zeitler...

Per Rotoworld...

Much like RT Rick Wagner did with the right-tackle market on Wednesday, Zeitler is expected to reset the right-guard market on Thursday. He's fully expected to land $10 million-plus annually, and plenty of teams have interest, including the Browns, Jaguars, and Colts. Zeitler would be a much younger upgrade on longtime Saints RG Jahri Evans, 33, who is also a free agent.

I've heard something like TWENTY teams are going after him. It's going to be extremely expensive.

We REALLY need to add a legit RG in free agency. Our line would be sick.

LT Armstead
LG Peat
OC Unger
RG F.A. acquisition
RT Strief

Kelemete 1st off the bench & can play all positions on the O-Line.

Kelemete can play RG, maybe even RT in a pinch, but should definitely stick to his natural side. He's a thousand times better on the left than the right (played LT in HS and some in college).

Crazy how we have 3 really legit LTs and not one above average (or hell maybe not even average) RG.

I doubt most teams will lock up $10 + mil in a RG. That should narrow it.
I expect him to get around $12-14


Zeitler
Logan Ryan
Fairley


Make it happen

Brees thrived with great guards up the middle.

Evans and Nicks
Evans and Grubbs

So I believe they will spend on a RG because even taking one in the 2nd round could still be a project and not add much to the 2017 Season.

I don't know if its 20 but there is a lot of interest so hopefully, if he thinks we can compete for a SB, that might help us convince him to give up a "little" money to come here. depends what is most important in his mind, its not always the highest bidder who wins, but it usually is

kinda thinking we get out bid for him thou

well frick, we getting leary instead now...

that might not be a bad thing, if we don't have to spend so much on Zeitler, we can use that money somewhere else

throwing 12 Mill a year at a guard scares me, but it is a glaring need.

He will & he'll backload it. It won't be that much the 1st year.

I don't like Loomis anymore than you do, but you should know his style by now. He knows what he's doing...you just have to point him in the right direction.

I think Ireland put his foot in his arse. He's learning on the job.
