I think Lorig is a better long term answer than Johnson.

Versatility wins.

Not a big fan of the Byrd signing, hoping he finally leaves the injury bug and plays a full season...

If you want versatility, Johnson looks like the better runner and he played linebacker at Tennessee, so there's that to consider...

Of 22 New Orleans Saints rookies, which are likeliest to make the team? | NOLA.com

Saints defensive outlook: Edge defenders, cornerback could receive facelift | NOLA.com

So Holder has Markus Pierce-Brewster (URFA) and Stephon Sanders (URFA) coming in as Inside Linebackers...

Wish guys could pick one last name and roll with it; yet another reason I'd never have made it as an equipment manager...

Is it me, but I think we're still a little thin at ILB?!?

Wanted ILB Hull in the 7th if we still couldn't see potential in NT Xavier Williams...both UDFAs

My love for this draft is growing...

One guy who went surprisingly undrafted that I really wanted us to get was Michigan St LB Taiwan Jones, 6' 3", 246 lbs...

He was an OLB for three (3) seasons and got asked to move inside linebacker his senior year; so in effect, he played a new position for one season...

Really liked this guy, absolutely hated he signed with the Jets...

OLB (2) Junior Galette, Hau'oli Kikaha (R2, #44), Kasim Edebali, Markus Pierce-Brewster (URFA)

ILB (2) Stephone Anthony (R1, #31), David Hawthorne

ILB (2) Dannell Ellerbe (via Trade), Ramon Humber

OLB (2) Parys Haralson, Davis Tull (R5, #148), Anthony Spencer, Ronald Powell, Stephon Sanders (URFA)

Davis Tull (R5, #148) i think he can be a solid back up at both inside and outside. smart kid

Kasim Edebali might be an interesting prospect also for dual roles. though he would be raw. he was signed as a TE with BC and switched to DE/OLB. he has the smarts to pick it up.

For these back ups it is about athleticism sure but passion and smarts are a huge part to sticking.

Thought the same thing about Tull moving inside...because of the shoulder, transition and depth signed, I think he's headed for Payton's version of a red-shirt season...

Still thin at the interior offensive line and inside linebacker...

Guess we'll see what mini-camp brings...

Could we move Galette or other after June 1st for another area of need?!?

Assuming we don't create a need by doing that...

saintsfan1976 · 05-19-2015, 07:54 AM

Galette stays. He was #2 in the league last year for QB hurries.

I want to see what he can do with ample coverage supporting him.
