100% this. The o-line was good but no o-line had it easier. Overrated bunch.

This was the case every year

Def wise to invest in Oline. The tea leaves started to look like it was OT or DE close to draft day. Loomis kind of hinted it.

Why is Banks a guard?

Like Campbell, etc, he is a little shorter without long arms.

But he could be a T or G. No question.

No way a top ten pick is slated for guard.

This is a good+ NFL O-Line if Banks pans out!

Kellen Moore is hopefully seeking to build a Philly-like O-line to build around the running game/Kamara if healthy. They will likely snag a QB comparable to Jalen Hurts who can run effectively when needed and make the throws necessary to move chains.

I'm not a huge fan of Milroe because his accuracy is inconsistent, but I thought the same thing about Hurts and he's proven me wrong. Seems like the Saints will get value today on defense with some top prospects likely to fall to them (Michigan CB, Marshal DE...) then possibly scoop up Milroe later. The dude is big, strong and fast! If they take him and if he can get more consistent passing under Kellen Moore like Hurts, it may be a Philly type offense 2.0!
