Re: 2014 - New Orleans Saints Depth Chart

Selected odds-favorite to make the squad to see how we might look...

No way we keep that many interior linemen, but the depth there is still questionable...

Doubt we keep six (6) receivers - Toon is likely gone, as is Morgan...

Unless someone comes into camp with the lazy@$$, our d-line returns with Uko the likeliest to replace the departed Tom Johnson...

Listed Corey White as a SS; he played and is likely to move their based on the other kids we already have; but he'll also likely play at CB...

Like the chances of one, if not both, the interior linebackers being overtaken at some point, early in the season...

Hoping Micajah Reynolds can prove to be a beast and transition to Guard; as well as bring some of that defensive nasty mentality to the Guard position...

Pulling hard for Robinson to turn things around and fulfill that potential...

JP, you think these two are gone huh? I really believe Morgan gets one more year to show and prove. As for Toon ... bye, bye.

K,

look at the numbers and depth chart; with Stills, Meachem and now Cooks, just don't see it happening...

Gunner?!? not likely with the rookies, sophmores will have on defense...

Morgan would have to come in and have a better camp than every receiver; all things being even, he's gone - simple numbers game...

And actually Payton may keep Toon, and definitely before Morgan...

Payton has spoke often about his preference for big physical receivers, easy targets for the QB; but Toon had better show some new things to his game, vast improvement, or he's out as well...

With the history, have come to understand Payton really likes competition at the WR spot; lots of pressure; that way he knows who will perform when it counts...

But we kept 6 WR's last year, 7 if you count Graham.

When did White play safety? I know he was projected to play their but to my best recollection hasn't played there ever.

College. The Saints moved him to CB.

He never played safety at Samford, he played CB his entire career there. He was projected to be an NFL safety by some scouting sites.

To the best of my knowledge he has never played safety at any level, ever. I do think he could make the switch, but it'll take a season or two.

Ah, my mistake... For some reason I thought he did play safety in college. Well in that case I'm completely against moving him to safety. He looked really good at times last season and being from a small school he naturally has a larger learning curve. A little more refinement and he could be one tough CB. Why mess up a good thing now by changing his position?!

Updated after seeing pictures of Marcus Ball - looks like a bigger version of the Louisville Rookie

Goodwin beats out Lelito, Lelito slides back to guard; Very much want to see Lelito win the job and get some youth on that interior line...

Saw Papz post from PFF, three things stood out:

One, Rafael Bush is better than that assessment...

Two, Defensive Line, Expect Hicks, Jenkins, Jordan all to change upward this season in rapido fashion...

Third, the fact that Strief is the highest rated right tackle is laughable; happy for him, but it is laughable...
