The Saints roster doesn't come in ranked very high by a national outlet, being in the bottom half of the league.
and combined their rankings to come up with a best to worst roster situation. They said that talent, age and production of players were all factors. They ranked the Saints at 20th, right behind the Falcons. The Bucs came in at 22nd and Panthers at 29th. Here's what they said for each category.: Edge rusher. It doesn't get much deeper than what New Orleans is bringing to the table.
There's obviously some points made here that can be debated. Isaiah Foskey's development and Payton Turner's availability will be key in whether or not the edge group is a strength. The safety or cornerback group, maybe even linebacker, are arguably the best positions of strength for New Orleans. Pointing out that the interior defensive line is the biggest weakness over the offensive line due to the fact that no player has played more than 53% of the snaps seems a bit odd. It's by design. New Orleans uses a rotation approach for their line, so that's to be expected. However, we do expect a big leap in production from Bryan Bresee, which could lead to more reps.
A.T. Perry should also be another player to take a leap, and while he is a good nonstarter to know for the Saints, Cedrick Wilson Jr. shouldn't be overlooked with his slot duties. There's several players they didn't list in their roster projection that I'd put on there, which includes Kendre Miller, Dallin Holker, Willie Gay Jr. and Johnathan Abram.
For their roster projection, they placed Kool-Aid McKinstry ahead of Alontae Taylor, Bryan Bresee alongside Nathan Shepherd and Jordan Howden with Tyrann Mathieu. Offensively, there's few surprises outside of what we've seen during OTAs and minicamp. Training camp will surely help us learn a lot more about the team and their roster outlook.I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011.
