My initial reaction to the Jahri Evans news is that it's a good move for the Saints and a sign that they'll keep him on the line. With Max Unger, arguably one of the top centers in all of football, now anchoring the offensive line and Jahri Evans being...well, hopefully healthy enough not to get in his own way for the foreseeable future, the Saints can really solidify their line with a guard in the high rounds of the draft.

Now, they also could have changed his cap numbers to make his contract more attractive to other teams, too.

I think the draft will be very interesting for the Saints this year. I can't wait.

Good point. But I tend to think he'll be here. They can't blow up the entire interior OLine. They'll have two new pieces, hopefully upgrades. If you try to replace too many, the chances of upgrades being actual downgrades go up. Unger and a competition between Lelito and a drafted OL should be ok. If you try to replace Evans, as well as the other Guard, I think they are rolling dice.
