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