DT Our Biggest Need?

turbo_dog · 03-15-2023, 08:59 AM

With David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle both signing with new teams, looks like our biggest need going into the draft is now defensive tackle. Looking at the lists of defensive linemen on draft sites, I admit I don't recognize most of the names. Jalen Carter is out of reach for us at 29. One guy who did stand out to me, but is predicted to go in later rounds, is Byron Young from Alabama.

Who are some of your favorites at the position that could end up a New Orleans Saint?

it's a deep draft this year for the DL. Maybe that's what the Saints were looking at.

I’m thinking they’ll double dip in FA and draft for D line. I hate to see so many go, but going younger is a good thing

I was hoping for the other Jet (Rankins) but this is a good start

Almost forgot the J E T S are the Saints' farm team.

I could be wrong however I think Khalen will enter camp as "the" guy @ DT. Played in 16 games last season for the Chiefs.

And only 26 years of age.

D Line coach Todd Grantham has something to work with in those trenches.
