re: First rounder on best O-lineman?

o-line wouldn't be my first choice, but I can see it being a possibility just like picking Ramczyk at 32 last season

I disagree with that. It’s about winning right now. You never know when Brees falls off the cliff, and when he does, the window is closed.

Hopefully Saints sign Robert Ayers...interest was rumored. A very good player still.

Then we have several options and hopefully Okafor can work himself back to 2017 form.

If I told you they drafted another Ryan Ramcyzk at 27, would you take that over zay Jones or David njoku?

Yes I would....was only disagreeing with the second half of your post.

I just think a good offensive line is one of the most important factors to success...even backup linemen.

I think we're win now, but if a pick sets you up we'll for 2018 and even better for 2019, I'll take that over questionable picks that may or may not help in 2018 or 2019 is all.

I don't want us to reach for a wr/te if it's not there just because we need it for 2018. It's not as important if you get what I mean

I agree about the o linemen

Should have quoted the second half of htran’s post. It’s win now time now, not 2019...and a great line will help that, even if he doesn’t start.

Not getting an instant impact DE at pick 27 anyway.

Hypothetically, if the Saints grabbed Ayers, Marcedes Lewis or Watson, and stole Meredith, they would be set up to take Wynn, etc. and maintain the offensive line as a strength.

Making sure the unit stays top notch is as important as anything. Brees will have success with a great line and a mediocre WR corps. He may not with better WRs and a trash line.

Not to mention, a Brees injury will ruin our lives. Lol.

I am fine grabbing a center in a few years through free agency.

To won now we need another offensive playmaker (Kirk) or DE (Key)

Taking a future guard would make a lot of sense. You have to replace Kelemete.

If Peat or Warford goes down you have a player to step in. If Armstead or Ramcyzk goes down Peat can slide to tackle and the guard can move in.

Someone is going down and going to miss some games.

Here's what I think you guys are overlooking. This team was ready and could've won it all last year but just fell short. Is there a few positions that we need more depth like WR and TE? Absolutely! Could we use D-line and O-line? Absolutely! But this team doesnt have any "Pressing" needs. I firmly believe we could field the team we have right now and still win the Ship. So we can easily go best player available and it'll be just fine regardless of position. So if there's a O-line guy that our scouts feel is badass at 27 then you draft him and dont think twice. I would rather a TE or WR in the first but we will be just fine if its not. Because like I said this team is ready now so let's stop all the talk of "we have to get this position in the first or we are doomed" talk because it is total bullshite. JMHO
