Ranking Saints needs: No. 5 Off. tackle

How can Mike list OC/OG (basically just center) as a greater need than OT?

I'm nit-picking but the potential loss of Strief is infinitely more critical than the potential loss of DLP.

I would say he feels we are fine at tackle and assumes Strief will be resigned and DLP will not. Giving us Strief/Armstead at tackles with brown ad a BU and no center.

Because when it comes to Brees protection a lot of it is him stepping up into the pocket. If the inside collapses he can't do that.

That's my point. DLP was one of the main reasons drew couldn't step up so replacing his talents is easier than replacing an A-minus RT like Streif.

I think replacing a mediocre center is easier than replacing a solid RT. But you're right about the interior being more important for Brees than OTs
