given shot to earn Saints’ starting job
usual coachspeak, of course he'll get a shot. His shot to compete might be against a 2nd to 6th Rd pick tho. I count three centers probably 2nd to 4th Rd I would say win the starting job hands down. 3rd to 5th Rd there's another couple that could be better.
There has to be someone else imported that can play the position just for depth. If I was GM-ing I'd target a high end center in the draft that has the capability to slide over to guard in a couple of years.

“It’s still unfolding, so it’d be premature to say, ‘Hey, here’s our plan today,’” Payton said. “We feel we’ve got some good young linemen in the building, and I’m sure that as we get back to New Orleans and we still continue to look at our boards, I wouldn’t be surprised if there possibly is a player signed.
“But Tim Lelito would be a guy that’s gonna be in the mix, someone that will be competing for that opportunity. We'll see who he’s gonna be competing against. But he’s someone that we feel has a chance to be that player. And yet we think there could be the potential to have someone (else). And it could very well be a guy like de la Puente or another guy who’s out there.”

Agreed. That's why I would love Marcus Martin from USC. But also if Zach Martin falls... That'd be hard to pass up with his versatility.

Almost every center can play guard, but very few guards can play center. Why slide a legit center over to guard instead of just drafting or signing another guard? Then you'd have to find a new legit center and have the same problem we have now.
