What are the realistic options at backup Guard/Tackle now?

With Kelemete going to the Texans, what are some realistic options for depth along the lines?
Saints don't really have a legitimate backup tackle at this point or guard realistically that can hold things together without shifting the line positions.
Starters are great, but with injury-prone Armstead at LT, you need some depth there.

This would be my preference...
Re-sign LeRibeus to league minimum or close to it, draft an OG, sign a cheap backup RT in free agency.
As of right now...all we really have (as far as backups go) is Cameron Tom as the backup center. Pretty sure he's never even played in a game either.

Honestly if this is our main concern this offseason is going pretty good

I don't think we'll go after some of the top guards like Mewhort, Sitton, or Pugh.

These are the lineman I see on our active roster, I.R. and Practice Squad:
Tackle: Terron Armstead; Ryan Ramczyk; Bryce Harris; John Fullington
Guard: Andrus Peat; Larry Warford; Josh LeRibeus; Landon Turner; John Greco; Nate Theaker
Center: Max Unger; Jack Allen; Cameron Tom; Gabe Ikard

I love our starters. Depth is an issue now that Kelemete is gone.

So is John Greco. Josh LeRibeus & Bryce Harris are UFA's.

Can we pick up depth in FA?
Or do we draft or both?

I think Cameron Tom will become a good player once he gains more experience. Kid was all conference 4 straight seasons at Southern Miss as a center, but he's also big enough to play guard. So, once he gains that experience I look for him to be a solid backup.

Is turner good?

Draft a Center/Guard.
We have three tackles on the team, if Armstead goes down, move Peat over again.
Groom him for the Center Position.
