Then he went on to say he isn't all that impressed with the guys at back up left tackle. Young & Kidd aren't cutting it. At this point, pencil in Throckmorten.

And I tend to agree with Ross that it's a possibility the Saints look elsewhere for "depth" in the trenches after the final 53 are announced across the league.

In a nutshell RJ, Nick U, Triplett, Sean F, Bob R (guys close to the team) all agree that the Oline DEPTH is the weaklink of this 2023 Saints team.

And pretty much the weak link of the vast majority of teams in the NFL. There's simply not much depth available out there. A couple of teams may be releasing a potential upgrade from the tail end of their rosters, but with the Saints sitting at #10 in the waiver order I can't see those players making it past all nine of the needy teams in front of them.

The only positive, I suppose, is that the starting five is probably among the best in the league. Once again, injuries, or the lack there of, is going to be the key. Hopefully some of the young players (Saldiveri, Young, Kidd) we'll have on the roster will develop in time.
