The offense was completely anemic last year, Carr is good but he can't do it alone, he isn't Brees. Surround him with a good running game to take some pressure off, with change of pace backs that can all catch the ball and break tackles.

If Carmichael can get his head out of his rear, im very excited to see what the offense can do.

Drew did have Deuce, Reggie, Pierre, Mark and AK.

Right. And to your point, was it 2011 when the Saints ran out of options at RB and they couldn't run the ball any longer--therefore not making it to their 2nd Superbowl?

Vernon Davis was covered by our RBs?

It's been tiring in recent years having a dinged up backfield and seeing the likes of Tony Jones Jr or a vastly aged Ingram logging serious carries. No offense to them, but we can't afford to undervalue this position and giving time to guys below replacement-level. I'm on board with drafting another RB. We need to plan for a harsh Kamara suspension.

I've stated in another thread that I'm not a fan of this pick because the Saints have other positions that need to be addressed before getting another RB. Miller might have been a BPA pick and certainly looks like a solid football player but OL, LB, and DB seem to be more of a need since they signed Jamaal Williams over a month ago.
Serious question: are they going to shop Kamara now and with the looming suspension could they get anything of value for him?

I don't think there's a chance of shopping Kamara. They need as much quality depth as possible at the position. All said, Kamara is still the best of who we have or can get. I believe we are in it to win now.

And there's lots of the draft left, the UDFA market, and wave two of veteran free agency.
