Is our RT already on the roster?

Marcel Jones
6'7" 320lb behemoth, played RT for 3 years at Nebraska, redshirted on IR with us his rookie year. Last year, he saw action in 4 games, including a start against Miami. I'd be lying if I said I remember how he did against the Phins, but I don't seem to remember him getting abused. Please correct me if wrong.
Saints have a history of mid to late round OL guys and plugging in guys that workout where others saw a hole.

If we don't bring Strief back, we'd have just him and Armstead as tackles on the roster I'm pretty sure. Phew that's scary.

Along with Bryce Harris

He looks like the star of an interracial porno from the 70's

Dude needs to get in the weight room...jeez I seen more muscular definition on a strand of spagetti.

Harris played a lot as a Tackle/Tight End in running downs. I'm not sure how well he did, but I remember him being used like that a lot.

Marcel just looks like a run blocker that would just maul your arse

I think we start the season with Harris. The Saints have never spent high dollar on a FA OL with the exception of Grubbs, or a high draft pick (unless you consider Armstead for a 3rd a high pick). Like others said, we plug and play on the OL, and it's worked out more than it hasn't: Brown to Bushrod, Faine to Goodwin, Kruetz to DLP, Brown to Armstead, Stinchcomb to Streif, and to an extent Nesbit to Nicks vs Bushrod to Brown. Here's a tweet from Harris' performance in preseason last year. While it is preseason, it is still somewhat encouraging.

I think Armstead was a second rounder.
Posted on 3/14/14 at 10:23 am to The Sad Banana
Nope, we didn't have a 2nd last year.
Posted on 3/14/14 at 10:23 am to The Sad Banana
Pretty sure we nabbed both Armstead and Jenkins in the third
Posted on 3/14/14 at 10:26 am to Brettesaurus Rex
We got Armstead in the 3rd and moved up for Jenkins in the 3rd. We didn't have the 2nd rounder still from Goodell's punishment.
Looking back, the 2013 draft is going to be up there with some of the best with only a handful of picks if some of this potential lives up. Vaccaro, Armstead, Jenkins, Stills, Rufus Johnson.
Every one of those guys outside of our last pick could be starters in the 2nd year and 3 were last year if you consider Jenkins a starter. That's getting value.

I've been wanting Jones to win the job since we drafted him.

I stand corrected. Carry on.

I say we slide Dombrowski over to the right side

Moving Stan Brock over is the way I see it going.

He was still someone we drafted.
