That's the advantage of only drafting four players. The Vikings are in horrible shape with 15 drafted players. From every indication, however, Ruiz is really picking things up fast. His intelligence was one of the things that got him selected. He called all defensive alignments from his center position over his final two years and according to his coach he was correct on over 99% of those calls. That was one of McCoy's issues with the Saints this past season. I have a feeling Ruiz will end up with the center job before things are over. Although, I'll be happy with the two of them in those two spots in whichever order.

Yet, you are correct, there are very few, if any, teams in the league with more continuity than the Saints and that's what makes them the team to beat.
