Bottom line, there are more good pass rushing OLB's later in the draft than potential starting LT's. You can get better value later in the draft at OLB. The only reason this is even a discussion is because people are convinced the Saints can find another gem on the o-line late in the draft. Me personally, I would rather gamble on a pass rusher in later rounds than on a rookie who will be protecting our franchise player. It would be different if they had a year or 2 to develop this player, but they don't.

all to be seen in how free agency plays out
With Loomies track record I'd guess it very likely that someone will be signed capable of plugging into LT. If not Bushrod then some affordable UFA. I've pimped Bryant McKinnie as such an answer in other threads.
Filling the holes with not necessarily the complete answer to provide full flexibility on draft day is his history. Go in and you can take whichever player you think helps your team most without regard to need then. Say a Dion Jordan, Lane Johnson, and NT Hankins are all available. Eliminating the overwhelming need allows you to go full BPA vs. pressing cuz ya hafta.
