Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

What drafting Rankins, Onyemata and signing Fairley was really a shotgun blast to fix the 3-tech...

We moved up to get Sed Ellis, big fat rookie contract, and bust...

Draft two hungry guys on rookie pool, sign a one-year prove it - problem solved three-times over...

It's always better to have numbers than the one uber player...

I totally agree. Lack of depth killed us last year. That was addressed.

And you rotate those guys to wear out the other kids (kinda like LSU and Bama does at the collegiate level)...

You also have fewer injuries complicated by fatigue...

Not to mention those young players will continue to grow as the season progresses.

I would toss out Anzalone's broken arm last year as a factor. Then it would go back several years to when he had the shoulder issues. My money would be on Alex.

Ellerbe got some bionics this last winter. He's gonna surprise us all!
