Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Of the 90 players on the roster, 22 were originally acquired through the NFL Draft. That's down from 24 a year ago. One-third of the players were acquired as undrafted free agents. That figure includes rookies, but also veteran players like cornerback Brian Dixon, edge rusher Kasim Edebali and guard Tim Lelito.

Those three successive concessions for Swann have me worried for him... Speaking of Swann, wonder if he wouldn't make a better safety? Are De’Vante Harris and/or Jimmy Pruitt talented enough to make this roster? |

Attend a TON of HS games here in the Metroplex.. .De'Vante stood out at Mesquite (Horn) however I always would say "damn he is feisty but so small". Didn't really follow him at TAM. Let's see what he does in camp. Jimmy P - I think his best shot at a roster spot is S/T. Really good open field tackler with range. Maybe practice squad & coach him up? But the simple answer to your question .. yes, these kids are talented enough to earn roster spots but I'll reserve judgment until they put the pads on . |

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
From our previous starters and key acquisitions:
DE Cameron Jordan DE Bobby Richardson DE David Onyemata NT John Jenkins NT Tyeler Davison DT Nick Fairley DT Sheldon Rankins LEO Hau'oli Kikaha LEO Davis Tull LEO Kasim Edebali LEO Obum Gwacham With eight (8) maybe nine (9) defensive line spots available, can see a couple of good players not making this team... Then, you could have one of these guys flash in training camp: NT Ashaad Mabry DE Mitchell Loewen DL D.J. Pettway Should be interesting... |
