New Orleans Saints pre-draft depth chart: Tight ends

I don’t think TE is that big of a need to warrant using our only pick in the top 90 on the position. I think we roll with Fleener, Watson and Hill this season.

Agreed. Enough bodies there to get the job done even if it is a committee approach...

Though it's better than it's been in years, still worrisome is how thin we are along the defensive line...

This is sorta where I feel we are also. But should we land the guy we want, Fleener is a post June 1 and we save money.

Yep. At least 6M or so.

I hope you are right. I hope we invest in the O-line instead. We are on shaky ground with Armstead and Peat broke his leg. We lost ALL of our depth this off season.

I'm with you on that. However, I would like to find a way to keep Hooman around too. I'm not convinced Fleener makes the team this year, whether we pick a TE or not. He's gonna need to show up ready to work this summer.
