Saints OT Zach Strief expected to retire

He's been battling thru injuries the last couple of years.

While I think most of us kind of expected him to retire this year, still sad to see him go. He's one of the few left from the Super Bowl winning team. 

With Zach retiring, and Kelemete a FA, Saints O-line might be a bit thin to start.

very good player. hope he enjoys retirement. 

Will the Saints go OL round 1? 

While I don't think so, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Armstead can't stay healthy. Kelemete is a FA, and Strief is retiring.

Saints are normally pretty good about finding OL talent throughout the draft, I think only Peat and Ramzy have been 1st round picks on the OL for the Saints in the longest time.  Guys like Bushrod, Armstead, Nicks, Evans, etc were all great finds in the 3-5 round range for them.  I think they are more likely to go LB, DL, QB, CB, or TE in the 1st than OL, but if some amazing player like Nelson or McGlinchey drops to them at their pick I wouldn't be surprised if they draft them and then figure out where to go from there.
