Brees will still be dangerous back there at almost any age, but our O-line quality has definitely been slipping the past few years and they need to right the ship.

I hoped we'd draft Center Richburg in the 2nd but he was gone before we picked. Didn't think Martin was worth that and then he, too, was gone in the 3rd before we "would've" picked. Hopefully, Lelito is the man.

Would like to see Strief go back to "swing" Tackle. Think we need an upgrade there. The stats appear kind to him compared to what I see. A monster ROT will fix our OL if Lelito is good at Center.
