I have to believe that if Johnson is available at #15, and there are no big trade down offers; the Saints will pick him.

Probably because Johnson can play LT and RT very well, but Fluker may be an elite RT. If a team is looking for strictly a RT, Fluker's the man.

But do you think Johnson will drop as far down as the Texans?
