Not sure how I missed your post on these XVI - ...

Both could be good problems to have but they'll have to perform in a extra ordinary way to take a spot from Stallworth. FWIW, the Saints scooped up Tuttle right after the draft, so this could be a guy that Coach Nielsen saw at his Pro day has a plan for down the road. If there is anyone who knows & sees potential talent on that D line, it's Coach R Nielsen.

RDE (2) 92 - Marcus Davenport, 97 - Mario Edwards, Jr. (FA 2019), 57 - Carl Granderson (UDFA 2019), 69 - Corbin Kaufusi (UDFA 2019)

Edwards & Granderson ... -- > should be good battles here.

Lots of talk about a Granderson v. Hendrickson roster fight, but in college, and in Hendrickson's case both, Granderson played weak-side while T-Rex plays strong-side - it may be it comes down to one or the other...

But just throwing that out there to factor it all in as we're a month and a half away from training camp...

WR-Z (2) 19 - Ted Ginn, 10 - Tra'Quan Smith, 14 - Travin Dural, 11 - Deonte Harris (UDFA 2019)

Who will step up at the "Z" not named Ted Ginn Jr? 3'Quan will be better, more confident with the playbook in year 2 ... I hope. Travin will need to stay out of the hot tub or he'll become a ghost in New Orleans.

Travin is a younger Meredith. All the tools, suffered from sub par QB play in college (as did all other LSU receivers).

I'd like to see him stick around.

Man ain't that the truth.

MLB (2) 47 - Alex Anzalone, 44 - Darnell Sankey (RFC 2019), 55 - Kaden Elliss (R7P30, #244)

Coach Nolan touched on this yesterday with Alex ... 2nd year in, high football IQ/team player and it willing to improve. Wears a lot of hats (plays all 3 LB spots) & has tremendous growth.

Stay healthy Alex. We need you.

I think Coach Payton will give Harris every opportunity to make this team ... or even as a practice squad candidate. It's Sherel's job to lose.

With all the shuffling on special teams (new s/t coach, players) this off season, I think this could be the one department that could get us over the hump.

Special teams. Teams that excel here are usually still playing in January.
