Ashton Jeanty or Tyler Warren?
And I think he’s right for THIS team. The Saints are in better shape with the so-called skill positions than they are with the OL, and the DL is not good. Just considering the offense aside from the OL, one WR and a TE is all they really need. RB is paper thin, and we have argued interminably about QB—but a big WR is the main need if the injured TEs can come back. I think JJ could be upgraded through the draft, but even there, it doesn’t seem as urgent as upgrading the OL.
Our o-line is the strongest most heavily invested position group on our team outside of 1 of the 5 starters.
LT - Fuaga, 1st round pick played well as a rookie.
LG - Sole true weak spot
C - McCoy, Pro Bowl 2nd round pick
RG - Ruiz, 1st round pick, upgradable but 3 years left on his deal that isn't entirely unreasonable and probably needs to be restructured to get under the cap.
RT - Penning, 1st round pick first year at the spot. Needs to work on pass protection but showed flashes. Good run blocker.
WR - We have Olave who has a career threatening amount of concussions and Shaheed who played in 6 games before being done for the year and missed time each season before. We finished the year with street FA's and UDFA's.
TE - Moreau is about it that's for sure coming back. JJ was wildly inconsistent and no one else stepped up.
RB - Kamara is 30 and has missed time or been hampered by injuries the last few years. TCU RB always injured and can't even learn the playbook. Rattler was having to get him lined up in the right spot. CEH, re-signed to a 1 year deal and looked ok in limited number of snaps but the Chiefs cut him for a reason. Williams is an easy cut.
You could have elite lineman but if your WR's aren't getting open eventually pressure will get to the QB. If your RB's aren't good at breaking tackles or seeing the hole then the lineman are all for not. It's all about balance. The Eagles had 2 first round picks as starters and one of them was a bust at his original position. We snag a starting guard in FA and our offensive line is set other than adding depth.
