Maybe one of the remaining left tackles on the board will develop into a good starter. Even that's not a sure thing, its not entirely rare for an entire draft, let alone rounds two through seven, to have no good left tackles in it.
This is what I think they have to do. Its not the left tackle but the guy has the lowest bust potential of anyone in the draft, let alone the tackles. I am actually pretty shocked he slipped as far as he has. Problem is I can easily see him going thirty-third overall right away, just like the Jaguars did with Cam Robinson a few years ago.
The OL showed improvement towards the end of last season. Shoring up either T would go a long way.
Well Jenkins specifically because he is an absolute road grader who adds an entire streak of nastiness to the entire right side. Its not impossible to scheme a patchwork defense on the blind side for a season or two, especially if that Teven Jenkins + Alex Bars/James Daniels/Cody Whitehair (however it works itself out in camp I will be content with to start the season) right side is causing nightmares for opposing defenses.
You can get a starting LT next year...they do need a starting RT in a bad way right now.
Only real hope for that is free agency without a first round pick. How much money are you willing to throw a thirty-one year old Terron Armstead? And the Saints are no dummies, they aren't going to let him out of the building unless they have a viable replacement rostered.
They can still draft a Tackle this year that can wind up being the started. Who knows. Important thing for now is we have a QB.
I’d think Foles has almost negative trade value.
Probably right - but people make strange decisions in the NFL, especially the Jets!!
True… they did hire Adam Gase as HC after he was god awful in Miami. Still Foles certainly isn’t worth a 30 spot trade up.
Can we trade 4 6ths for a 3rd? Get serious talent for the offense instead of ST players, IMO.
