I don't get this pick. Where does he play? Is this the end for Zach Strief?
Instant analysis
The Saints had a need at tackle, and in one of the weakest drafts for offensive linemen in more than a decade, they grabbed Ramczyk to wrap up the first round.. Ramczyk was the top-rated tackle in CBSSports.com's positional rankings and he'll likely take little time to earn a starting job. Ramczyk has terrific quickness and athleticism for his size, the big issue is his lack of experience against elite competition; he played just one year at the FBS level.
Fantasy impact
"The Saints solid offseason continues with the addition of Ryan Ramczyk to go with Marshon Lattimore with their two first-round picks. Ramczyk could be the best offensive lineman in the draft, and this will make Drew Brees happy." -- Jamey Eisenberg
NFL comparison
Nate Solder: Ramczyk (pronounced Ram-check) has been compared to Solder because of his size (310 pounds), length (6-foot-6) and aforementioned freakish athleticism.
