Below is the Saints’ current depth chart (unofficially) as I see it. In keeping with the team’s roster needs post I just made yesterday, visualizing this will help give you clues into the possible areas of focus come the draft.
QB: Drew Brees, Luke McCown, Ryan Griffin
RB: Mark Ingram, C. J. Spiller, Khiry Robinson, Tim Hightower, Edwin Baker
FB: Erik Lorig, Austin Johnson, Toben Opurum
WR: Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks, Nick Toon, Jalen Saunders, Seantavius Jones, Brandon Coleman, Andy Tanner, Joe Morgan, Willie Snead
TE: Benjamin Watson, Josh Hill, Orson Charles
T: Terron Armstead, Zach Strief, Bryce Harris, Nick Becton
G: Jahri Evans, Tim Lelito, Senio Kelemete, Andrew Miller
C: Max Unger, Michael Brewster
E: Cameron Jordan, Akiem Hicks, Glenn Foster
NT: Brodrick Bunkley, John Jenkins, Lawrence Virgil
OLB: Junior Galette, Parys Haralson, Kasim Edebali, Ronald Powell, Jerry Franklin
ILB: David Hawthorne, Dannell Ellerbe, Ramon Humber, Kyle Knox
CB: Keenan Lewis, Brandon Browner, Kyle Wilson, Terrence Frederick, Brian Dixon, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Delvin Breaux
FS: Jairus Byrd, Rafael Bush, Pierre Warren, Kenny Phillips, Ty Zimmerman
SS: Kenny Vaccaro, Jamarca Sanford, Vinnie Sunseri, Marcus Ball
K: Shayne Graham, Dustin Hopkins
P: Thomas Morstead
LS: Justin Drescher
The roster stands at 68 players and will get up to 90 before training camp. My immediate thought looking at this list is how few defensive ends are on the team. Maybe the Saints will address that position more than once in the draft. It sure would be nice to have some young legs at linebacker, too. How do you feel about this roster as things stand pre-draft?
