Let's cover some things first and foremost.

1. The Saints don't draft OLB in the 1st round.
2. Will Smith and Sedrick Ellis are all but cut from this roster.
3. Spags loves his linemen and I expect him to bring in someone if we decide to go defense.
4. Jermon Bushrod is a free agent next season, Zach Strief has been downright atrocious this season. Don't rule out OT.

I'd be willing to be a large chunk of change we go pass rusher 1st, OT 2nd, and either a CB or S in the 3rd. Probably pick up a LB or two in the later rounds. Spags probably likes Hawthornes potential and obviously Lofton is a lock so I doubt OLB will be a huge priority

I'm just not big on such absolutes particularly this early. What if they signed DE Michael Johnson and LB Phillips?

Here's one we haven't discussed... Manti Teo

He could be a BPA on the board when they pick. I think Lofton is entrenched at MLB. But Hawthorne had played more WLB than SLB in Seattle. IF Teo could grade out as a viable OLB that could be possible.

Depends on the draft spot too. If ending up 8-8 and a pick around #20 then Mosley could be a BPA if he declares.
