I understand JG threatening to sit...so I hope he understands if the Saints use a pick on a top TE prospect as well.

Not saying a true replacement for JG, but a talented player who you can "get by" using for the short term with upside and growth potential

Saints had no such recourse with Brees, but a TE is a different matter. At worst, you consider a top TE pick who (once JG signs and reports) can ultimately pair in 2 TE sets.

More 2 TE looks and a new FB would mesh well with a re-emphasized rushing attack.

We could just give Ben Watson all the snaps and sign another tight end then trade jimmy for some cheaper options. He's not irreplaceable.

I don't think we signed Watson to a 3 year deal on accident. I think he's the insurance should Graham hold out this year, and if we leave him on the tag and tag him next year also.

I think we only go TE if he's clear BPA. Other things are more pressing.
