5 years later, it's clear the 2009 Saints were a rare blend of talent, chemistry

I think the O needs to get fixed, they are not horrible but these players that are there now are just not as dominate as they once were, Goodwin, Evans, and Grubbs to be exact, while Strief has not let down as much as those 3. Lelito is not dominate at C but he is not bad. These late round picks in recent years with the exception of Armstead have not been able to step up to the level of an aging(declining) O-line starters and that alone worrys me. If we do address the O line either in FA(like JP's thoughts) or in the draft C and G needs to be studded out with young players that can give us great production for years to come.
