Did you know that the Saints signed Kenyon Coleman DE to bolster the line?
The Saints also restructured Will Smith.
Tom Johnson has also been discussed around here as a possible DE.
Hicks has also been discussed being used as a possible NT.
I don't know who the "everyone" is your referring too. It seems to me that the main consensus around here seems to be that the only lock is Jordan on the def line.

If it helps, on NFL Network they showed the Saints depth chart(actually depth chart in the Saints draft war room) and had Smith/Bunkley/Jordan as starters and Hicks as Smith's backup with Johnson as Bunkley's backup(though I think both backups could play either spot).

And as mentioned we signed Coleman to help play end.

I think we are pretty set on the line but may want to draft someone in a later round to have a young guy for next year when Smith and Coleman are gone.

I think there will be a heavier emphasis on competition this year and whoever shows best will get the job- regardless of contract or draft status. Payton wants some fresh fire like how the team was stirred up in '06.

A lot of posters on here. Kenyon Coleman isn't a starter but will rotate I admit. Will Smith can't have that much left in tank. I was thinking of more of the future or am I looking too far ahead. Time will tell
