Realizing that BOTH of the Ryan guys that were signed via Free Agency will not be with this team, at least not for this season...

Looking at what we have, I liked what we had more that what we signed, not that those guys are bad players - just liked Hicks and Wilson more...

Boutte 08-24-2013 09:05 PM

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 
This roster looks a little shaky to me. We're pinning our hopes on a lot of unproven talent. The good news is we seem to have done a good job with the talent we've brought in. Nice see some good young Dlinemen making their presence felt.

We're gonna have 3 new WRs this year. Toon and Stills have performed well so far. I think we'll be okay here.

I wonder how much of a difference we'll see in the O line now that Kromer is gone. I worry about our depth here.

Suspect linebacking seems to be in our DNA. Add injury to the equation and we could be in trouble. I say just throw the young bucks out there and let them learn. Sorry to say it but I think Vilma is a lost cause. He's a genuine Saints hero and a huge part of that Super Bowl season. He'll always be one of my favorite Saints. But it's time to move on.

Can we get one DB who can catch a freakin football? Can anybody play safety? Again we have some young guys coming in to push some vets who may have become a little too comfortable. Vaccaro, Bush, Corey White and some others show promise. This group needs a good shake up.

From the next man up department, what are we going to do with Khirry Robinson? If it comes down to him or Cadet I'd have to keep Robinson. He'll be a great understudy to PT.
We could use some young blood, PT and Sproles ain't getting any younger. I hope we can keep Cadet too. He's a good utility guy.
We're set here.

Ben Watson!! YEAH! Perfect compliment to Graham. How many TEs do we keep? Is Higgins a lock?

QB? Check.

I know man, just joking around about how our expected starters haven't played a lick in the preseason (Galette and Wilson) and now back-ups are done like Will Smith. I'm not opposed to what you said about trading back into the first round to get Ogletree, but we also have to have patience and see what we have in our current defensive players and then make a decision with our 1st round draft pick still available next year instead of trading it away... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. That's why we love this stuff so much!

No guarantee that he would have been available.
No guarantee that a team would have traded with us.

And this dude has some serious issues. He was busted for stealing a motorcycle helmet and got a DUI right before the NFL Combine, and was suspended from UGA for smoking dope.

That "they have to want to" and "you have to have something they want", often gets over looked.... Pesky details.

Really? He was already under contract. He wasn't a 2013 draft pick.

How can you even begin to equate that with what I mentioned? That makes no sense.

Read the statement, Why did we keep him?!? Because he was under contract?!? Then if he's got baggage, he should have been cut...

If you're not going to draft a guy because he's got or has had problems, then you shouldn't keep a player based on that criteria either...

SAINTS DEPTH CHART - 2013 53 Man Roster Max Day

OFFENSE

QB (2) Drew Brees, Luke McCown (FA)

Surprised we didn't keep Ryan Griffin...

RB (5) Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson (UDFA), Travaris Cadet

We kept five RB's? One of each missed the Miami trip with no explanation?!?

FB (1) Jed Collins

And he's the backup LS too!

WR (2) Marques Colston, Nick Toon

Only two tall WR's, but there really good ones...

LT (2) Charles Brown, Terron Armstead (R3)

Lunestra and Ambien anyone?!? Come on Terron, WIN/OWN the job...

LG (1) Ben Grubbs

Expected Olsen to back him up, but injury has left an opportunity

OC (1) Brian De La Puente

No change

RG (2) Jahri Evans, Tim Lelito (UDFA)

Good for Tim; you can learn much from Master Jahri

RT (2) Zach Strief, Bryce Harris (FA)

Solid, not spectacular, but solid...

TE (3) Jimmy Graham, Benjamin Watson (FA), Josh Hill (UDFA)

Really liked Hill when we were discussing UDFA candidates; I think we've got the best TE corps in the league...

WR (3) Lance Moore, Kenny Stills (R5), Andy Tanner

Great surprises here; Stills looks to be a steal in the 5th round; Tanner jerseys will be the hottest seller this year...

DEFENSE

DE3 (2) Akiem Hicks, Glenn Foster (UDFA)

Probably the best turnaround at a position with amazing depth; the guys should stay fresh AND have a Big Impact...

NT (2) Brodrick Bunkley, John Jenkins (R3)

Drew may be the man, but these guys will be ALL MAN; great 34 anchors...

DE5 (3) Cameron Jordan, Tyrunn Walker, Tom Johnson

Cam Jordan is back in the familiar 34 DE position; the Dline has great flexibility this year; Walker could even slide to the NT if necessary; Tom Johnson should get healthy and stronger...

SAM (2) Parys Haralton, Martez Wilson

Would rather see Martez inside, but SOMEBODY has to play OLB and get some heat on the corners...

MIKE (2) Curtis Lofton, Ramon Humber, Kevin Reddick (UDFA)

Lofton mans the middle and Humber really came on in the preseason; Reddick gets an opportunity to tutelage among some real vets and develop into something special...

WILL (3) David Hawthorne, Will Herring, Jon Vilma

Didn't see bringing all three back, but that's exactly what happened; happy for Herring who's been a consumate pro and may see some time at OLB...

JACK (1) Junior Galette

Junior, this is your time; and it's all your time as we've got no one behind you?!?

CB (3) Jabari Greer, Corey White, Rod Sweeting (UDFA)

Really like our corners; White could (should) be playing safety; excited for Sweeting and he's got some good size...

SS (2) Kenny Vaccaro (R1), Roman Harper

Vaccaro looks to prove the Saints FO right in drafting him; Harper should hone his special teams skills

FS (3) Malcolm Jenkins, Rafael Bush, Isa Abdul-Quddus

Contract year for Jenkins is coming; Bush makes the "25" jersey popular; AQ is great depth...

CB (2) Keenan Lewis, Patrick Robinson

Maybe Lewis can help Robinson get things turned around...

Ty Powell OLB/DE Harding Developmental player that is worth the risk. Size and speed for the 34 and above average coverage skills

Cody Davis, FS/SS, Texas Techanother diamond in the ruff player well worth the PS


Three of those we mocked up and I would love for those guys to come to New Orleans! In fact, within a year, three of those guys could be on this team playing and contributing...


Fragel would be a great Right Tackle candidate to develop; he could even move into guard as he's pretty quick (former TE as you mentioned)...

Pena could start developing now to play behind Jenkins as Bunkley will probably be gone after next season's salary purge; he'd be a good one with his size to anchor the 34 and spell Jenkins...

Ty Powell, OLB, Harding University, by way of Seattle, who was already loaded when they drafted this guy late - probably to keep him from another team; as we've learned, when you have a good team, 53 spots disappear fast; this should have been the pick in Round 6...

Absolutely love Cody Davis, and with some faster pace NFL experience, he's be better than Harper is now...

I'd also add...

Dontay Moch, OLB, Nevada, by way of Cincinnati

He's got all the ideal measurable physical traits; injured his foot Rookie season; got desperate and was busted for a PED positive test violation in his sophomore campaign with the Bengals; he's a case of being a 34 OLB playing at a 43 DE poisition and just needs reps...

And if we can somehow keep him, Ryan Griffin

I just would like to know what limitations Chase Thomas presented; he's a classic case of limited measurables, but come game day, the man can play and produce...

We have four outside linebackers per NFL.com's player page for Will Herring...

Will Herring, OLB for the New Orleans Saints at NFL.com

Martez and Junior can rotate and Herring can back up Haralson...

See, no worries...

Shame about Foster
Hopefully its not a lingering issue

Re: Saints Depth Chart 2013
 
Looking at the depth chart there are a few odd/interesting things.

-Tanner listed ahead of Stills at WR2
-Harper ahead of Vaccaro. I can't imagine that will last very long
-Haralson backs up both OLB positions. Figured he would be in as a starter.

Realistically all of these positions will be heavily rotated, but it's interesting to see who gets the honor of being named "starter."
