The pick: Cesar Ruiz, C/G, Michigan (No. 24)

This isn't a sexy pick, but Ruiz is going to help a veteran Saints team that needs to win now. A two-year starter at center who has also played some guard, Ruiz is a great run blocker, and I'd expect him to kick over to guard with last year's second-round pick Erik McCoy sticking at center. He is the best interior offensive lineman in this class, and it's not close.

I agree, except that I'm not sold that it won't be McCoy moving to guard.

We are definitely prepared for when Armstead misses games because of injury.

What did we pay Peat? 55m? That'll be an expensive backup left tackle. Lol

So Peat is the back up tackle and Easton is the back up guard.

They might as well release him. They’re going to need some money to play around with in order to sign Bradham or maybe Darqueze Dennard or maybe even Everson Griffen

Fantastic move. Tough, leader, highly productive. Trust the best OL drafting team in the league.

Cant wait to see what we do today

Don't be surprised to see this configuration in the playoffs.

1) Ruiz is not a "great" run blocker. He's good, but he's a much better pass blocker.

2) McCoy will kick over to Guard.

Not true at all. Much better run blocker or pass blocker.

Because D Brown went to Carolina, this became an even better pick.
