Between draft/FA, how many new linemen do they need?

I see 4 absolute must gets.

Positions where we need to find a starter:

Center

Left Guard

Could survive but need an upgrade:

Left Tackle

--

I look at it like:

Little/Daley-TBD-TBD-Turner-Moton

The interior being so bad made the pocket collapse 70% of Allen's drop backs, Turner didn't have any decent counterparts so he even looked bad (even though he did take a step back a bit, we know what he's capable of).  Larsen and GVR are good depth. 

Defense:

A 3-Down DE

Nose Tackle

*Both dependent on scheme.

Due to contracts and the lack of post-June 1st cut options this year, Turner and Paradis are practically guaranteed to be on the roster next season. I really do think we need competition at center regardless. I think the most likely candidates for that competition are Larsen or a potential draft pick. Gotta hope Turner can return to form next year under a new staff. He's only 26. Will Daley move to LG?

Per usual though, LT is the giant elephant in the room. Is Little the answer or do we need to go shopping again?

Pretty spot on assessment.

If we can get a Every down 3-4 Lineman and Left Guard in the draft and bring 2 FA defensive lineman I think we could be sitting pretty well. 
 

Center can be drafted later and sit for a year or start if Paradis continues his downward trajectory. I’d feel good with this.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
