SAINTS DEPTH CHART - 2017 Free Agency

DEFENSE

DE (2) 94 - Cameron Jordan, 77 - D.J. Pettway, 76 - Mitchell Loewen

DT (2) 98 - Sheldon Rankins , 93 - David Onyemata

NT (2) 95 - Tyeler Davison, 96 - Ashaad Mabry, 92 - Justin Zimmer

DE (2) 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha, 58 - Obum Gwacham

And as I mentioned on another thread, I don't see Kikaha playing DE as he's undersized...
It all depends on DA an his attacking defense scheme. To make it all click on that side of the line you need a solid all around SLB backing the DE up.

a linebacker based on his closing speed, power through contact and athleticism
T.J. Watt OLB Wisconsin 6’5” 245 lbs
Might be a better DE than OLB

Ryan Anderson OLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr
Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston 6021 240 4.67 #81 Sr

Jimmy Gilbert OLB Colorado 6036 225 4.74 #98 Sr
He is one of my favs late in the draft. lead the nation in sacks before injury and he is Raw

Langi Harvey ILB/SLB/FB BYU 6015 252 4.77 #21 rSr
Does not get the respect he deserves. another solid raw prospect

Yeah, well that's one less thing to distract us from getting the O-line and D-line finished...

Didn't realize Hightower was a UFA.

Tim has been solid for NO & I wouldn't be quick to let him walk.

Hightower had a great season. Very good pass catcher but struggled around the goal line. Also a humble guy but he's getting old. So many good options out there for a RB2.

We need a real plow guy like a Blount to get that 1-3 yards to paydirt. Ingram and Hightower are not those guys. Think Blount had almost 20 TD's this season. Insane. Very hard to stop that dude in short yardage. If we can get that going to make short and goal almost a given like the Pats.
