Saints Roster who makes the trasition (DE/OLB/DT)

Broughton- can this guy even play football. Obviously the size is right...but can he play?

Galette- 99% likely to be starter at WOLB (other 1% is if the Saints are blessed with Jarvis Jones at #15)

Jordan- DE starter lock

McBride-would play DE...but the guy just isn't very good and is always hurt. NOT ON TEAM.

Romeus- Would play WOLB...backing up Galette (if he can stay healthy and make the team)

Smith- Would play DE...backing up Cam Jordan. Likely will be cut...but if he plays close to vet minimum...might be a decent backup.

Wilson- I don't think that he is an OLB. I think that he is an ILB. He played MLB in college where he was excellent...played ILB in 3-4 situations under GW...and Spags was stupid and put him at DE...and he didn't do anything. He is an ILB.

Bunkley- NT. Very likely your starter unless the Saints decide to go LDE round one (Star vs Richardson vs Floyd). In that scenario Hicks would alternate w/ Bunkley.

Ellis- 100% not resigned.

Hicks- As above. He will likely be either splitting time at NT with Bunkley, or starting at LDE (or both).

Johnson- I think that he can backup either DE position. He is going to provide valuable depth.

Walker- This is a tough one. I think that he is a better fit at UT in a 4-3. He is a talented guy...but I don't think that he has the discipline to play on the line in a 3-4 front. I think that he is either a training squad guy or cut until he can prove me otherwise.

Vilma- Would play WILB in the 3-4. I honestly think that Hawthorne will be better than him. I think that it will be Hawthorne and Wilson alternating at WILB. I just don't see how Vilma contributes to this team.

Hawthorne- WILB. Much better fit at WILB than SOLB. I think that Martez Wilson & Hawthorne will alternating depending on subpackage.
