New Orleans Saints Potential Salary Cap Casualties after the Draft

Zack Lee said

well its just one young guy. McCoy is definitely starting somewhere. And Id bet money Ruiz is too. If you draft interior that high, you aren't going to look very good if they aren't a starter. And Easton is another versatile guy. But I won't have strong feelings against whatever the staff decides is best.

Yeah that's just assuming Ruiz is going to be center. So he has to earn that spot over McCoy. Which I think is the general assumption. If so McCoy has to beat out Warford. I'm not too sure about that one. If Ruiz doesn't earn center he has to then try and earn the guard spot over Warford. Not sure what would happen there but it's probably the less likely scenario.

In short, you have this round robin thing where basically all 3 are competing. With Easton, I don't think there is much of a competition. He's just the backup.

I do like that Easton is younger and versatile but in this situation with Brees, I'd feel better with the short term answer of knowing you have the best 5 you possibly can this year. #6 should be damn good also.
