Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame 6055 315 5.17

He would be sweet to have. Not only is he one of the top OT but many think a move back to LOG were he started would be his best move and give him a shot at multiple years as an all pro vs outside at OT. Which I can understand and see in his game. You can speed rush the kid but your not going to out dance him or push him around a phone booth. Switches off smoothly and is incredibly smart.

Armstead and Stanely would be a dangerous duo. Add to it the ability to jump outside in case of injury would be huge. he can go RT or LT. he is that gifted. Unlike Andrus Peat, he is not a project to make versatile.

I had him rated as the same type of player Collins last year. An OT that might be better off at OG. Stanely has more natural athletic ability.

Then draft one of the two road graders from Arkansas in the middle rounds
Sebastian Tretola, ROG, Arkansas 6045 334 5.28
Denver Kirkland OG/OT Arkansas 6045 340 5.47

The saints OL wows would all but disappear.

just a thought.

Excellent choice, build the lines or the rest doesn't matter. That's been one of Paytons biggest failures, going after DBs and offensive weapons while both lines deteriorate.

Its the recipe for success.

But obviously that alone won't do it. But without solid trenches, it makes everything else more difficult.

Yes.... And more thoughts needed.

Get a good legitimate number 1 reciever in the first. Draft defensive and offensive line including a pass rusher. Our secondary will be fine.

ChrisXVI · 11-29-2015, 06:24 PM

1a) DT who can rush the passer

1b) Big, strong possession WR

Cruize · 11-29-2015, 06:31 PM

Two G's, 1 TE, 1 WR, 1 LB, 1 DT, 1 CB.

AllSaints · 11-29-2015, 06:38 PM

Imma say RG or LG,DE,OLB,ILB,WR

Depends on what the coaching staff looks like next year. I can see Payton drafting offense in the first round

ChrisXVI · 11-29-2015, 07:42 PM

Jeanpierre and Hagan... It might be time to fire up the official 2016 draft thread.

Draft talk? Really? WOT
