The really good thing about Warford is that he's young. He can only get better.

Larry Holder's Take

thought this was a good point-

Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi probably carried a scouting report on Warford with him to New Orleans. Lombardi was the Lions offensive coordinator for a couple of years while Warford played in Detroit.

Brees probably feels a little better at retiring a Saint, today.

Going to get my vapor rub...

This guy has played guard in the only offense in the NFL that is as pass happy as we are. I like it.

Yeah Kelemete passed him up. We may not even resign Lelito at this point, with Kelemete, Peat, Warford, and Turner on the roster.

They might like John Fullington(OG) more as well. Jack Allen could take his backup Center role.

Strong as an ox ....... but slow and plodding makes him suck in pass protection.

I assume his ceiling as a run blocker is pretty high. Dude is massive. Not sure how good he'll be in pass protection(this question mark is probably why he wasn't drafted).

Possibly on Fullington.

As for backup C, Kelemete took that this year. Allen is in the mix too but he'll have to show he can also play guard.

It'll be hard to beat out Kelemete for the top backup spot as he can play every spot on the oline (left better than right though). That's invaluable.

Turner and Warford both ran 5.58 at the combine at close to the same weight, with Turner being a little taller. Hopefully Turner has been working on trimming up and improving his footwork. Wish we could get a report on him

Great read on Warford

Sounds like a great pickup. Was called Detroit's most consistent lineman last year which was saying a lot considering how much Detroit's offense improved last year.
