From 'Pro-Style' To Productive: How Saints Find Plug-and-Play OL Talent like Ryan Ramczyk

Another gem in the 2017 Saints draft.

I don't treat PFF as the gospel but Mr. Ramczyk graded out at 8th out of 81. In his final 8 games of the season, he surrendered only one QB hit & 0 sacks. That's big time/prime time.

I'd say that trade with the Pats (Cooks in exchange for pick #32) worked out nicely for us.

Totally, Right-On Post...

That grading was ALL Tackles, not just RTs or just Rookies, but ALL Tackles - Can't wait to get Ramczyk to LT, jettison Terron Hot Tub Armstead...

When Armstead plays he's a beast. He gets great blocks and gets down field quickly. I'm not sure how many games he's missed but it feels like he's available about 10 out of 16 games each season.iirc

I'll be honest with you I'm not comfortable with our depth along the O-line. If we lose one starter we could see a substantial drop off in our run and pass protection. I was glad Bushrod left because he never impressed me and now he's our backup at guard. This doesn't inspire confidence and looking at the roster leaves me feeling very edgy..........

Really won't know till PreSeason with Full Metal Contact what the rookies and reserves have, but I feel better now than six weeks ago about our OL reserves...

..., not great, but better...
