Our run game was instantly better when he took over and Watson and Hill were in as tight ends.

The only reason we should think about drafting a RT is that Strief is getting older and it would wise to start grooming his replacement.

Streif was the of that unit this year. Injuries and poor LT play (in some games.) made the line look a lot worse than it really is.

Sorry, I'm not very satisfied with the status quo. We are 1-2 pieces away from having a shut down defense when everyone is healthy. All of our offensive woes can in some part be traced to the offensive line and in no way will I believe it's ALL on Brown.

We have reached a point where getting the job done doesn't get the job done. We need to upgrade some pieces and Strief is one.

The Saints might not get a choice in the matter. Streif is a free agent and after he may get offers higher than the Saints can afford.

DLP is who we need to upgrade. He's the weak link on the OL.

He's not the only one, Grubbs and Strief need to be examined and assessed; Grubbs cap number is especially harmful...

Last 18 games were enough examination and assessment for me. You want to draft and hang on... Where are we cutting depth for all these extra offensive linemen?

I think a Pro Bowl Center would put us there. Also a WR like Fitzgerald or Bolden.

As we struggle to figure out how to pay for Graham I must ask.... How on earth would you pay for all of that?

Exactly! Everybody (ok not everybody) wanted Bushrod gone, before that they wanted Stinchcmb gone, now it's Strief. You'd think Pro-Bowl thises and thats grew on trees and were willing to play for free. Put down the Madden and try to live in the real world. DLP is the only guy that realistically could be replaced affordably. And even he isn't terrible.

I know let's get Brees to play for less than Ryan, Cutler, Flacco, Schaubb, Brady, Manning, Rivers and Rogers. You know that every FA pro-bowler is just dieing to come play for us on the cheap.
