We Drafting AN OG!!!!!

I hope we do. Some depth and someone to develop that's not always hurt along the line is much needed. I just hope we find a 1-2 year starter in FA so we aren't having to rely on a complete unknown rookie as a starter.

We could sign Jedrick Wills Jr. & move him inside to OG. He is a former #1 draft pick that has had injury problems the last 2 years.
He could end up being another Becton.

Top Remaining Free Agent Targets For The Saints

I've seen a lot of stuff about interest in Jenkins but it's been dead quiet about Becton. Wonder if his Super Bowl injury is a hold up. They're also at a weird level in pay where they won't command to dollar but not bottom dollar either and it's a big range to try and negotiate in.I’d be just...

I would hate to see the Saints get bit by playing Becton out of position after taking enough contract risks as it is. Becton is a young OL with 1st round talent and coaching familiarity. He seems worth it to see what happens wherever he’s played at. But just don’t know if that made sense for the Saints right now.

There’s still starting vet Guards available like Teven Jenkins or Dalton Risner who could be signed on short term deals. A top LG draft prospect could be eased in behind them and potentially take the starting job before or by their 2nd year.

Fine with either of those two on a good deal. They bring injury risk as well, so hopefully not a larger contract. There are no guarantees at this point.
