but C is a black fricking hole right now

I disagree.....It was last year with Goodwin at C and pretty bad play on each side at guard positions....If we put Lelito in at C, draft La'el and plug him at either G (and also providing depth at LT) and see we can pick up Lupati to play the other G or Wisnewski to plug in at C and put Lelito in at G and we are instantly upgraded from what we were last year

you could say that, but i think it's plausible that both G were trying to do too much because C was a hot mess

But depth was always the issue this year, both at Tackle and Guard/Center. I'd feel pretty confident with him playing LG, C, RG, and RT (in a pinch). At the least, he would be backup. If he is as good as advertised, he'd be a starter at C/G and still provide depth on the bench by displacing a starter.

Success for the Saints depends on keeping Drew Brees upright. I wouldn't be upset with them grabbing him in the first. But if they think passing him up to get a better quality guy late in the draft (like they did with Nicks) I'd be happy too.
