Thoughts on signing strief this offseason?
According to rotoworld:
"ESPN Saints blogger Mike Triplett believes there's a "strong chance" impending free agent RT Zach Strief gets a more lucrative offer elsewhere.
The Saints are in a salary-cap bind of sorts this offseason and won't be able to bring everyone back. Strief made 15 starts this past season and graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 1 overall right tackle, excelling in pass protection. Bryce Harris and Marcel Jones are possible in-house replacements for the Saints. "
Everything I've seen on here is about signing albert, monroe, or mack. I do not see the mack signing happening, and I do not see monroe leaving baltimore for any reason. While I like the idea of signing albert, he is a LT, and will be more expensive then Strief I believe. So my thinking is, sign Strief, draft a LT in somehwere in rounds 1-3 (probably round 2 or 3, unless we trade up for a top LT). We can add a guard or 2 throughout rounds 3-6 and/or FA. This would allow us to trade up/down in the first round (more probable since pick 19 is not a valued pick) or draft BPA- which hickey wants to do.
