2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Top Five (5) Saints Who'd Be Most Likely To Be Traded

(1) NT John Jenkins (Would be a better fit for a 3-4 team)

(2) RB C.J. Spiller (Have a theory he's unhappy still being a No. 2 RB)

(3) QB Luke McCown (If Grayson comes on, how valuable a trade chip would he be?)

(4) LB Obum Gwachum (Would be a better fit for a 3-4 team)

(5) FS Jairus Byrd (It may be time to end the investment and just move on)

Jenkins would be a decent 1 tech for Rankins/Fairley (3 techs)

He bulked up to 260 and is going to be a damn fast "open"(weakside) defensive end...

Sure, and that's where he's slotted to play; but if there's not much drop off from him to the others NTs on the depth chart, I can seem him getting moved because of his NT measurables and contract status quo...

Hey, I'm looking forward to seeing him with the pads on, hitting, contacting, pushing, getting pushed; I just thing he'd be even better off the line, standing up, in a tradition 3-4; for us, he's likely to be limited to 4-3 under sub package; 260 lbs ain't sh*t in the NFL for a true 4-3 DE - he'd get tossed like a toy...

This is why I like the Darryl Tapp signing. What he lacks as a pass rusher he makes up for in being decent against the run. We have no idea if EdiGwachTull can hold up against the run. Heck, the RB we're going up against in week 1 (Latavius Murray) is the same size as Tull.

But Tull may be faster than the RB Murray!

	It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
