Saints Nation: Saints' Current 2013 Depth Chart
With all the new additions here is how I view the depth chart currently. This is unofficial, of course, but the lower down these guys are the harder they'll have to fight to move up. Keep in mind only 53 guys will be on the final roster and it currently stands at 87. There's a good chance they'll be more additions between now and training camp, too.
QB: Drew Brees...

Tight end has gone from a position completely void of any depth to rock solid in the blink of an eye. The Saints just signed a very good and reliable veteran in Ben Watson to a three year deal.
