We're not the only franchise having difficulty plugging draftees into the starting offensive line. It's happening all across the league. Teams are holding onto veterans longer and seeing players in that position group age 35 and beyond is becoming rather commonplace just out of sheer need.

Payton Turner, Trevor Penning (year #3), WTFoskey (essentially a rookie redshirt) Marcus Davenport's of the world are looking like huge 1st round "misses". In rd 1, I don't have the expectation of getting a Hall of Famer draft pick but I do expect to get a QUALITY NFL starter. Anything above that is lagniappe. It's time for another 2017 SAINTS NFL DRAFT CLASS. |

Re: Pete Carmichael analytics show you something.
BTW, Max Unger was a terrific free agent acquisition. Elite player.
At the time, I thought trading Jimmy G for a Olineman was foolish. It's time to get meaner on that offensive line. Adding Kubiak definitely helps our case in those trenches. |

The offensive line is 5 positions, we typically carry 8-9 on the roster and 1-2 on the PS. Remember that screen game and how devastating it was? While Pierre Thomas screen vision was probably unmatched, that line had a lot to do with it as well. That screen game would have been even more devastating if Bush could have run 1/2 as much vertically as he did sideline to sideline. You might see that the decline started trending when we started handing out giant contracts to ball handlers. |

Re: Pete Carmichael analytics show you something.
We'd probably have more Landon Youngs, Rick Leonards, Charles Browns, Matt Tennants, Andrew Tillers, and Nick Saldiveris being developed, or not.
