Offensive Tackle: Ryan Ramczyk, New Orleans Saints

If ever there was a good player-to-scheme fit in this draft, it would be Ramczyk to the New Orleans Saints. Their system is always about Drew Brees and throwing the football. That requires athletic protectors on the edge. Terron Armstead is entrenched on the left side. Ramczyk should be able to easily transition to the right. Will he play right away? If healthy he should. Zach Strief just isn’t the player he was a few years ago.

Ramczyk moves well in space and doesn’t have trouble handling speed rushers off the edge. The added bonus is he’s still big and strong enough to generate movement on the ground. That will make Mark Ingram and Adrian Peterson happy. In truth Ramczyk was the exact player the Saints needed to fill a key need on their offensive roster. As if the unit wasn’t already hard enough to stop. More time for Brees and space for the running backs will raise his profile.
