Unfortunately, still have to rebuild the OL from scratch.

Got one possible sure thing in Banks at LT, which is important
Jury still way out on Fuaga, who may be injury prone
Literally nothing at the guard spots
A good, not great center that has only played 7 games in each of the last 2 seasons and ended both on IR

Maybe we should try it using FA.

It’s really ridiculous

I have serious concerns about Fuaga as well

Draft them in the middle rounds as proven guards and not tackles or a center the Saints might want to convert to guards.

Two guards and we're good. The whole unit will look better with those positions fixed.

Fuaga projected as an elite guard

I’m just throwing shite at the wall and hoping it sticks at this point my guy.

I’m really not sure about any of our young guys that we drafted early. This team is so devoid of talent.

Absolutely although I wouldn’t be mad at drafting one in round 2

Absolutely not

He's not that good at RT, though.

His physical limitations wouldn't affect him as much at guard

The OL is the biggest reason to fire the scouting department. We’ve invested into this group for five years with nothing to show for it.

He’s played well overall especially being hurt. The ML experience of moving Ts and Cs to G needs to be over.

It's crazy to me how much of a thing this is across the NFL

This is what doomed Daboll in NY

This is what has limited the fricking Chiefs a bit

Nah he’s played fine. I’d say average and dealing with fairly bad injuries. He can be a really good RT, his natural position
