The 2025 JeanPierre Saints Roster Depth Chart Thread

It's weird to look at a 4-3 depth chart knowing that we'll likely switch to 3-4 soon.

I'm not so sure we will be changing to a 3-4, at least not yet. Cam Jordan, who has already met with Staley, has mentioned four man front personnel more than once and I read somewhere that Staley plans to design the defense to the player's strengths. Currently we have more 4-3 personnel. If we don't pick up enough round pegs via free agency and the draft it might be judicious to go ahead and use the square holes for now.

Ourlads is usually pretty accurate.

Then again, Chase Young has said, "An edge is an edge", when asked about the possibility of the standing start.

Seven tight ends is nutty. I know that you don’t want to hear this, Guido, but seeing seven TE’s on the roster makes me dislike the money given to an average to below average TE in Johnson even more than before.

So what you are saying is you would dislike Derek Carr even more if we had 7 QB's.

Three of the seven (Holker, Jacobson, Welch) are basically base salary only so if they don't make the final roster they don't count against the cap, ice. Free camp bodies. They may not even be on the "roster" in a few weeks. Don't forget the team has a 90 player offseason roster. Just stay tuned. Relax.

I think we'd benefit from the a switch to 3-4. It calls for better athletes on the EDGE and makes it easier to play Granderson, Young, Jordan, and Bresee at the same time. Cam is better suited as a 3-4 DE instead of an EDGE at this stage of his career and I think the change would benefit his current skillset.
