I’m inclined to think the Saints would ideally like to leave this draft w/ Bowers

Offensive line protects the quarterback and opens holes for the RB. It does nothing for the defense.

Ball control keeps the defense off the field. Moving the chains however you can do it.

Sure it does. Doing both of those things keeps the offense on the field and allows the defense more time to rest. Good luck moving the chains with an OL that can't protect to the QB or open holes for the RB.
