Trade Candidates

This will be one of the most talented rosters in Saints History...

It's actually easier to point to the roster's flaws as there seem to be so few...

Now some of the salary cap commitments will dictate players on the roster that otherwise wouldn't make the team...

See two positions that are still of concern...

Outside Linebacker

The now projected Week 1 tandem of Galette and Wilson have yet to play together...

The Parys Haralson was a good trade in a position we should never have been...

But we still don't have that proven pass rushing linebacker and Martez Wilson would be better suited as a Will/Inside Linebacker (i.e. Vaughn Johnson type)

Rufus, whom I like as well as his story, but why draft a 43 DE when moving to a 34 front?!?

There are two players that could add depth to what could be a good rotation...

Kamerion Wimbley who signed with Tennessee from Oakland and was miscast as a DE when he is clearly an Outside Linebacker; the Titans are desperate for Wide Receivers and we've got plenty of that...

Dontay Moch is another square peg in a round hole situation; scouted as a (Correction) 34 OLB, the Bengals have tried to make a 43 OLB which are very different traits; he could easily rejuvenate his career in New Orleans...

Another concern has to be with the Offensive Tackle positions...

Daily Media Observers have posted the unlikelihood of Marcel Jones making the team; that leaves Brown/Armstead opposite Strief/Harris...

Strief seems healthy and able and Harris looks that he can develop into a quality Tackle...

On the other side, Armstead is struggling adjusting to the speed of the game and just needs to put it together; but having the well documented health history of Brown at Left Tackle, well, I'm just a simple fan and like Coach, it can keep you up at night...

Think the Saints may have to consider when setting their 53 man roster, they may have to have some wiggle room to acquire some depth for the OT position...

Unfortunately, several teams seem to have lost their Tackles for the season already, so losing Brown a couple of weeks into the season after all other options may have been scooped up could prove costly...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
