Put the entire rookie class in tier 4. I envision they separate themselves during the season.

Offense was easy. Some debates on guys like Ezra Cleveland who would be a quality starter for NFL purposes but is bordering between tier 2 and 3 in BDL. Cross was a good starter in NFL purposes but he does need to improve a bit more to get to tier 2.

Defense was a bit harder. I thought Onyemata was borderline tier 2/high end tier 3 but he’s a 3 down player with pass rush production. The DBs were the hardest to evaluate. I moved Ward to tier 1 because at his peak he can win games in coverage and trading for him was to acquire a high end CB1. Taylor and Emerson were quality starters at an important position so I moved them to tier 2. Emerson was a starter for the season and while Taylor fluctuated between starter and backup for the Saints got a lot of playing time with Lattimore/Adebo being injured most of the season.

I'm sure there is debate on who belongs in tier 2 and tier 3, but overall, this reflects the rebuild I started last offseason.  Trim the fat, add a lot of young bodies, and get depth.
