Saints sign Guard Dillon Radunz

Pencil him in as the LG starter until a rookie or someone else beats him out. I do like how although he’s 27 years old we didn’t commit long term. Just a 1 year deal.

Hope they can get him up to speed at LG because they just brought in a RG. Slim pickins out there.

Put him at RG and kick Ruiz over to LG. Radunz and Penning would make for a couple mean dudes on the right side.

I still want to draft Belton, Pierce or Travis to bring in a monster or two.

Why ? It makes more sense to move just one guy instead of two

It was to put the guys with similar temperaments next to each other and when people think of the mean guys on the line, they usually think of the right side.

“JAG,” a competent warm body.

Position still needs to be addressed.

Which honestly is better than what we had at that position last year

Rlpmd will not be pleased lol.

I agree completely with Ross Jackson: you can't have a line complete with Probowlers. The team has already a solid starting trio with Fuaga, McCoy and Ruiz. Penning played better than expected and saved his career at RT. You get a low end starter for cheap. You try him out at ONE position in the O-line and see if he stabilizes the position, instead of moving him all over the line. Classic low risk high reward signing. Now you have two linemen that have an aggressive mentality at Oline (Penning and Radunz). I like it.

I really like the signing. He is a serviceable pass blocker and a solid run blocker and can play anywhere along the line. This is a great depth move. I still hope we can draft an interior oline guy that can supplant him or Saldiveri and be a starter, but at worst he’s younger than Patrick was and is on par with him talent-wise.

He played in 15 games last year, 11 as a starter. He’s more than a JAG.

Merely playing doesn’t make you not a JAG, much less merely playing for a team currently slated to pick first in the draft.

And that’s not necessarily a knock on him; we need competent bodies. I just feel like we can do better and should aim higher.

Please don't wish those vibes on that man....Kmsl

I could name a bunch of guys who run around getting cardio all game long, who are just JAGs.

Getting a Kelemete vibe from this signing. I like it.

Does Radunz have a mean streak ? If so I like it. Good call
