MI has definitely lived up to his draft status.

Funny thing is I bet if if you asked the “average” fan to rank their top 5 Saints backs then Kamara, Bush, Thomas, McCallister, Sproles, Rodgers, and Ricky Williams all pop into mind more so than Ingram.

I just hope to see Angry Mark this year. I loved when he'd hit the hole like a freight train and just smash into and through people. Then get up all fired up. Go Mark!!

Glad this thread opened interesting discussions. The pick “value” may have been in question as to weather he could have been available later in the draft. I’ve argued that against Davenport frequently. But I don’t think any drafted player that ends up being your franchise leader in any positive category can be considered a bust pick no matter what you paid for it. Heck, I’d paid what they gave up for Ingram for Morestead or Morten Andersen.
