The start of New Orleans Saints training camp is finally in sight — or it’s at least a few weeks away, rather than a couple of months. And we learned a lot about the team already during their practices at minicamp and organized team activities in the spring. We’ve got a better idea of where guys are lining up and how some positions may be stacked as players compete for spots on the 53-man roster.
So with that in mind, here’s a position-by-position look at the depth chart. Some players were working at multiple spots (or are expected to once training camp begins) so we tried to reflect that. This is just our early take; we’ll update things once camp kicks off and we know for sure how the coaching staff is evaluating their roster.
