Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

ah only a few changes i would make but i like what u got...i doubt we keep so many tackles and i think matt lehr will take over for either center this season or for jamar nesbit....i think that andy may take over at guard if lehr goes at center...goodwin will step in for C if lehr cant do it....i like ur CBs but i think that Usama young and porter should be flip-flopped and i think aaron glenn should be up higher....i like the PK choice...what about KR and PR?

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

I wasn't aware how thin we are at defensive end.

Also, I'd love to see Chris Barclay take Stecker's spot at running back. Barclay returned a kick for a touchdown last season and is also a good little running back. Change of pace guy with very good quickness.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

ah thatd make me cry....stecker is a captain and a true saint....hes one of my favorite players and if i ever find a stecker jersey in ohio im buyin it...i think the depth at DE is overlooked because unless smith and grant are hurt...which really only affected us last year....we dont have to worry about it....now however we may need to get another DE because ive been hearing a lot about moving grant to DT on passing downs

The OL looks deeper and better than last years group. I really like the way the saints are doing this.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Anybody still thinking about moving Charles Grant inside?

Saints to look at the June 1st cut downs and the last training camp cuts to pick up a decent backup DE. Seems the final roster cut down is never the final roster.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

We are going to keep 7 DBs and only 5 LBs? Please explain.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

at some points u need 4 or 5 DBs out on the field at one time....at most you have 4 LBs and we dont run the 4-4 very often...i dont think we will at all this season with our new talent.....our DBs are more of a question mark than our LBs(arguably)....we think we have solidified our LB core....Our CBs are a question mark once again

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

Half of those LBs are coming off injuries, so I would argue with the bigger question mark. and while yes we would need at the most 4 CBs at a time we also use four LBs in the 3-4 which is used for blitz packages and things of that nature. I have to say that it seems like I am the ONLY person worried about what might happen to Vilma and Morgan. If they both become injured again we are down to 3 LBs and then have to run over to the practice squad to pick up a developmental player who didn't get snatched up by another team. I hope you guys are right though.

Re: 86-man Minicamp Depth Chart
 

we just dont run the 3-4...thats the thing...our LBs are coming off injuries which is the only reason i said (arguably)....vilma and morgan coming in healthy with scott fujita....it wouldnt even be a question....Randal Gay was a solid #2 corner but i think it'll turn out like jason david last year....we need depth at corner because with mike hurt we still dont have a #1 corner...which LB do u think we should keep if we do keep another
