Re: Grading the 2016 Saints Linebackers

the saints signed a solid foundation to build upon

It is just a start. The saints need to keep adding quality young backups that could be ready to blossom and have shown they can handle filling in when needed at a productive level. Quality trapped behind quality starters. Solidifying the DL and keeping players like Robertson and Stupar clean will be key seeing these players worth. Tape showing proven flexibility just like before.

A.J. Klein MLB/OLB Carolina 25

one or two rolls of the dice on a player that is stuck in the wrong system or was made into something they are not. Cheap prove it contracts types.

Corey Lemonier 34 DE 24 back to 43 DE
Jarvis Jones 34 OLB 26 back to 43 DE

Draft solid all around LB and not take the bait for flash. Favorite example in the draft is

Tim Williams VS Ryan Anderson

At this point in the development of the defense I have to go with the all around play of Anderson over Williams

But just an opinion
