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

And isn't that what ultimately makes you think that the Saints will end up drafting one of the guys in the OT tier ahead of Guyton, Paul, Mims, Morgan and Suamataia? They find a player they want and target them, after all.

Genuine question, and one we can't know the answer to, is how big a grade difference do the Saints hold on Latham/Fuaga/Fautanu and one or more of those other guys behind them?

You are saying what I am saying... I am saying Alt, Fuaga, and Fautanu are tier 1 (and likely out of our reach at 14)... I think everyone else from the long list of the rest of the guys are "eye of the beholders" players.... all worthy and capable of starting this year for a team but not top 10 prospects... yet likely have mid 1st round / high 2nd round grades.

If Alt, Fuaga, or Fautanu are there at 14 (and we haven't already traded up).... there's a better than good chance we take one (Unless Bowers, Rome, or Alt somehow fall here)... If not... no big deal... there will be a SMORGASBORD of starting caliber OTs available between 32-45.
